John is a great host. The fact that he is so responsive despite managing other units is a testament to his commitment. We appreciated his lightening fast responses. He also accommodated us a little early upon arrival - which was greatly appreciated. The apartment is well used, but tidy and clean. Location requires a bit of a walk...but really not a concern and preferable to more heavily trafficked locations. Loved Ireland and our accommodations, along with John's help, made a difference.
