Evleen is a fabulous host. Her garden is gorgeous and her home is about a 20 minute easy and safe walk from the city center. Westport has cozy pubs with great live music, especially if you visit during the Bluegrass festival in June. For the adventurous, you can take a bus to Achill Island and bike 42km back to Westport. The views are awesome as you pedal through farms and along the coast. I highly recommend it!
