I stayed a week and I never met Lydia.Her Mom welcomed me and she kindly gave me some salt, pepper and cooking oil.When I arrived I was immediately disappointed by the loudness of the traffic I let Lydia`s mom know this.I consider myself a tolerable person who is relaxed enough to go with the flow.Was I the first person to complain about this?I was shocked to see the place was 50 feet from the Main Highway.I had expected that being 60-75 minutes by bus from Dublin there would be relatively peaceful surroundings.I did my best to ignore the constant drone of traffic that lasted well past 3 am and started back up again at 5.On my last night when I was cleaning up after myself I noticed for the first time the ceiling in the bathroom was caked in a crusty Black Mold.With no motorized vent in the room, just a hole in the wall with a plastic cover[which had fallen off and was just leaned up against the wall]To me the mold must have been growing a long time to get that significant.In this day and age, I believe such conditions are unacceptable and need to be mentioned as a warning to other travelers.The BLACK MOLD MAY BE AN OVERSIGHT BUT THE LEVEL OF TRAFFIC NOISE I FELT WAS RIDICULOUS AND DECIEFUL.
