Maura's apartment is quite fine and she and her father (who helps out on a more-local level) are outstanding. Her father responded immediately to any queries I had and brought over needed things immediately. I'd highly recommend the accommodation! It is very close to the Quay road, which does have a fair bit of traffic on a summer day, but the idea would hardly be to stay indoors all day. The walk into the village through Westport House is lovely, and the apartment is easily accessible to a lot of fine cycling, both for nearby trips on the Greenway and for those who would go farther (Killary, Lough Mask, Louisburgh, etc).
The only minus is a lack of storage space - we were a long-term let, so we noticed little in the way of space for storing clothes (large wardrobe for things to hang, though). But overall I do recommend Maura and the apartment very highly, and many thanks to her!
