we didn't get to meet hilary but all communication we had went well and fast.
hilary's apartment is beautiful, very cozy and has all you need for a short stay.
the apartment sleeps 5 people, the bedrooms (1 double downstairs + 1 upstairs with a double bed + a single bed) are quite spacious but the living room/dining room/kitchen area is a bit small. fortunately there were just 3 of us so it was perfect :)
the apartment has a gorgeous view of croagh patrick!! there's a nice terrace outside the apartment where (weather allowing!) you can sit and enjoy the beautiful view.
the beach is very close by and there's a tesco and a supervalue in westport which is 15mins away by car.
