Despite the following feedback, this little snug in the corner of Horn Head peninsula is well worth the view. The changing landscape as the weather shifts, the location, and the general secludedness of this space make it well worth staying. The whole place is finished to a really high standard, super easy to find, comfortable bed. A day spent walking, followed by an evening soak in the bath are a fantastic way to spend your time.
I also found the place by hitting 'directions' from the AirBNB app, and then using Google maps. GPS is 55.207529, -7.946699. Really not confusing at all.
That being said, I stayed for four nights and had a number of small issues. I highlight these mainly for future guests, and as there is no guide in the apartment.
- The internet never worked, I had 3/4G the entire time though, so tethered when I needed to.
- The power went when I tried to use a hair dryer. Apparently happens rarely, and I understand how to reset a fuse, but other folks might get stuck. I turned off many other sockets and was able to run the hairdryer after this.
- It was cold one or two nights. Marie-Jose insists the heater will be enough, but I was just a little too cold for two evenings in May. Also all the plugs were turned off when I arrived, and it wasn't simple to figure the heater out.
- It *really* is just a toaster, kettle and fridge. No microwave. This is made clear in the listing, but if you're doing a longer stay like I did, it's really worthwhile to keep this in mind - no re-heating food. Also, as stated, there is no kitchen so you're washing your dishes in the bathroom sink (again, totally fine) but there was no dishcloth.
- Marie-Jose is based in LA, so is in a different time zone and communication can be slightly delayed. If you plan ahead for this it's fine.
- Unlike a lot of airBNB places, there is very little upon arrival. Decaf coffee, and literally one tea bag and sachet of sugar. I found this disappointing for the price.
I feel it is worth mentioning these issues so other visitors can plan accordingly. None of them meant I did not enjoy my stay, they will hopefully just allow folks to have a better experience. Would gladly return here.
