Roisin was a great hostess. She was very responsive before we arrived and so helpful once we did finally reach her. I feel guilty saying she was actually late for a wedding in order to make sure she met us in person...! The flat was very clean and very quiet. Beds were very comfy and the heating is excellent, which is important for Aussie reptiles going to a cold climate. You can tell Roisin is a keen cook - the kitchen wants for nothing and seems recently renovated. We baked most evenings and the oven worked just fine, as did the stove etc. We literally arrived with 120kg of luggage between us and Roisin was completely relaxed about that. Probably a lot more than we were... Roisin was also very responsive during our stay via sms with the few questions we had. The location was just terrific - some great little cafes and restaurants nearby and a village about 5 mins walk away complete with everything you will probably need as a transient local. There is a pool - the oldest in IE - also about 5 mins walk away. If you are active then you're close to the beach and its various walking paths (lovely in the direction of the lighthouse). It's also easy to get out to places like Wicklow or south along the coast if you're a cyclist. Just be careful of the road surface conditions! The neighbours were also very friendly on either side although if you're driving you may need to get in early to find a park in the terrace.
