Our trip to Ireland started with a very pleasant stay at Lex's place, which is exactly as advertised on line. Lex met us at the flat, gave us a brief tour and information, and provided us with some initial provisions (bread, cheese, wine, milk, eggs, bacon). The weather was perfect so we sat out on the back patio and enjoyed wine, cheese and bread as we unwound from our travel from San Francisco. The flat is in a great location near shops and pubs, but a couple of blocks from the noise. We were delighted with how quiet it was. Lex was a welcoming host with a clean and comfortable place. Our two couples staying there would highly recommend it. Thanks again, Lex!
