I had a great time at Elva's place throughout my weeks in Ireland.
The place is near the center in a quiet area, you can take bus to the center just next to the house, very easily, and very often. You can buy your groceries at shops 2 min away from the house.
The room is nice and cosy, with everything you need to put your stuffs and clothes in.
Elva gives you all the information you need for your stay : useful things, ideas of places to visit... We had lovely discussions, it was easy to speak and understand because she adjusts her language according to your English level. She makes sure at every moment you feel well and comfortable.
I highly recommend this place, perfect for short or longer stays !
