Joe was a fabulous host. Our flight got in later than we wanted, and he was waiting at the front door of the apartment to greet us. The apartment was quite lovely, when we walked in it was pristine with a new paint smell, we couldn't have asked for more! Since we got in so late, he made up the sofa bed for us and left us breakfast ready for the morning. The location was perfect for what we were doing, centrally located near lots of restaurants and accessible to places like the grocery store and pharmacy. If we had to do it all again, there's no doubt that we would choose Joe as our host again. The only down side to the apartment was that we couldn't figure out how to work the shower the first night (pull the string that's hanging from the ceiling!), but when we texted Joe he got right back to us and was willing to help. If you're staying in Ireland, stay with Joe! He's a great host, and will make your stay in Ireland THAT much better.
