Staying at Paraic's home was a great experience. I loved chatting with him when I checked in - he is warm and wise and lovely to get to know. Chatting with him gave me a much deeper understanding of the island than I would have gotten otherwise. He made me a delicious vegetarian Irish breakfast (soda bread, oat porridge, fried eggs, tea), and brought my luggage to the pier for me. Note that communication with him through there Airbnb channel won't really happen, and the bathroom could have been cleaner, but those were minor faults in a great stay. I also recommend walking along the coast of the entire island. The ground will be rocky and unstable the entire southern half of the island (you have to leave the road), but it is well with it for the solitude and views. If you walk clockwise, the trail is blazed sporadically with large red dots.
