My Ireland plans changed suddenly, when Aer Lingus cancelled my flight from Boston to Shannon at the last minute. My entire itinerary was moved forward by a day in the height of the tourism season. One of my AirBnbs moved my booking forward without question. The other was unwilling to do so without an extra charge, and I suddenly found myself with an evening without a booking. I contacted Maureen last minute, and she squeezed me in. Her hospitality was outstanding, and I would not hesitate to recommend her place to anyone who either wanted to visit the Aran Islands or was looking for a base to explore Connemara.
