Kate is a wonderful host and the house is like a show home, immaculate and very beautifully decorated. It's a new build so all in very good order. I was lucky that there was another person from airbnb staying who I got on well with, and was good to meet Kate's son, Wilbur, too.
Kate really wanted me to feel absolutely as I would at home and I had use of the kitchen, fridge, piano (!!) and everything else I needed. She cooked me breakfast several times, offered me food that she had cooked, and also introduced me to some of her lovely friends when they came over.
I had some wonderful chats with everyone there, but also had a lot of space to do my own thing.
The space is very peaceful and quiet with some food shops and a pub nearby. There isn't much going on in the immediate walkable area but there's very frequent buses just 2 minutes walk from the house to get into dublin city or wherever else one would want to go.
I feel like Kate and I will stay in touch, it was a great stay.
