This was our first time trying AirBnB. We couldn't have asked for a more positive experience. First off, the location is as nice and comfortable as described. Rooms, kitchen, appliances, everything is clean and in perfect working condition. Yet, the best thing about staying at this location was Marie herself. She is a thoughtful and gracious host that went beyond anything we could have ever asked for. We traveled with our eight-month old baby and were prepared to sacrifice our comforts at home and make do with what we could find. However, when we got there, Marie had furnished the house with the following extras: bath tub, baby wipes, pack and play, bottle warmer, high chair, baby monitor, baby swing, baby bottle detergent and sterilizer and possibly other amazing details I may have missed. She even went ahead and baby proofed the electrical outlets. She told me she beforehand she'll provide us with the pack and play (the place where the baby slept), but she had also brought out all these extras. We felt at home the entire time. She made sure also to provide us with an umbrella as some of the mornings were rainy. She was also kind enough to receive a package we sent in advance for us. Marie is an amazing person and host. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to get to know Marie because we had a full schedule that included a lot of sightseeing and attending a friend's wedding.
In summary, if you are looking for a place to stay in the western side of Ireland, you need to book a time at Marie's place. Period. We loved the location. It's on a beautiful location away from the big crowds with a view of Lough Cutra. You can reach many of the points of interest from her place easily (The Burren, Cliffs of Moher, Galway (Aran-Islands), Limerick, Cork (Blarney Castle/stone), Ennis, Quin, Shannon, Bunratty Castle, Dublin, and many others).
We hope to one day make it back to Ireland and Marie's place. Absolutely great host and place. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
