What a wonderful experience! We stayed at Bernard's lovely home for a week and couldn't have been happier. Bernard was out of town but arranged for his son Karl to meet us to give us keys and show us the place. He was very kind and responsive and available if needed. Bernard even emailed us during our stay to check in which wad also thoughtful.
The home is beautiful and just as the pictures show. The furniture is very nice and comfortable including the bed which has a heating pad making it even more cozy. Bernard emailed us to make sure we knew about the heating pad. So nice! In addition there is an electric fireplace in the living room which was great to come back to after a day of November/December site seeing. So enjoyable and peaceful to come home after a busy day and sit by the fire and look out at the amazing view. There is a shower/tub combo in the bathroom with plenty of hot water. The kitchen has all you need to cook but we mostly ate out or brought food home. There are several nice grocery stores and restaurants right across the quay which was very convenient.
It is well located and we were able to walk to many of the places we wanted to visit. It's also easy to catch a taxi or bus right out on the street for longer journeys.
This was our first experience with Airbnb and Bernard and Karl made our stay at this beautiful home so easy and comfortable. It was our first trip to Ireland and we are so grateful to have been able to feel so at home here. Would highly recommend!
