Ruth was very welcoming - but had a workman there that day. Probably unavoidable but a bit intrusive for me. The best thing about Ruth's place is the convenience of the location (which is on a housing estate, but quiet). It is near the Mayo Greenway which is a walking/cycling route into town or to the quay. There are two very good bikes to borrow! Parking was also easy on the street, and Ruth has a driveway which I could use. There were two other guests when I stayed.
