Noel provided us with our best Airbnb experience ever! I frequently stay in Airbnbs - eleven since last May - in properties ranging from 5,000 square foot luxury accommodations to small rural experiences. Noel's place is the definite stand-out. A big part of the positive experience was Noel himself. He provided great communication throughout and thankfully was flexible when our itinerary shifted unexpectedly. He is friendly, funny, and always at the ready to help. For example, he was able to find us great parking across the street. We loved walking out the apartment door and waving at Noel behind the counter in the butcher shop below the apartment. It made us feel a bit like we were part of the community. The apartment was a pleasure as well. It is much bigger than it appears. I was there with my three adult-sized sons and we had plenty of space for sleeping (one on the comfortable couch) and space for each of us to find a little solitude at various times throughout our five-night stay. A bonus, not pictured with the listing, is a large laundry room with washer, dryer, and a weightlifting machine. Ask Noel for washing and drying instructions. Finally, the location is fantastic. Just walk out the door, turn left and find the Ennis Gourmet Store around the corner with great food, wine, and wonderful coffee. Across the street from there is another tasty shop for breakfast and coffee, Cairde Cafe. Just around the corner from that you will find the local O'Dea's Pub. If instead you turn right out the door of the apartment you will find gorgeous fresh fruits and vegetables across the street at O'Connor's. Around the corner on the same side as the apartment you can find amazing discounted fresh bread if you purchase late in the afternoon at Zesti. We would also suggest a pint overlooking the river at the Rowan House about a ten minute walk way from the apartment. We highly recommend the dessert taster plate at the Cloister next to the Ennis Friary, also about a ten minute walk. Finally, worthy of calling out by name is the CraftWorks at 49 Parnell Street - one block from the apartment. All items are handcrafted by local artists and best of all they charge no tax. Beyond those there are so many things to do and see in Ennis and within a short driving distance that Noel's place is a great location to venture out from throughout your stay in Ireland.
