Gemma's place is quiet, pleasant, and attractive (you get to enjoy her several plants, including the rose-colored orchid in the kitchen). Gemma offered me a flexible check-in time, which I appreciated, as I was at the mercy of the bus schedule and Gemma wasn't going to be home when the bus got into town.
When Gemma arrived late in the evening, she was welcoming and gracious, even though she had just made the long trip from Dublin and had attended a work meeting on the way. She was even open to conversation, and I very much enjoyed talking with her. She also made time to help me figure out transportation options for the next leg of my trip, which I much appreciated, as that aspect of traveling in Ireland had been something of a nightmare.
Though she could have slept in the next morning, she very kindly got up earlier than she had to to take me to the train station. And I was glad that she recommended the train! The comfort of the train over the bus more than made up for the extra expense.
I highly recommend staying with Gemma. You'll encounter a warm and generous host and a lovely place to stay.
