John and Melanie are fantastic hosts. And the location of this Airbnb is adorable. It’s right on top of a Murphy’s Ice Cream Shop on Main Street with adorable views in many directions. It’s an 8 minute walk to and from the train station, and close to many pubs, restaurants, churches, the park and the jaunting car pickup. As we were walking over, John picked us out of the crowds because of our luggage and warmly greeted us as he walked us to the apartment and let us in. We immediately felt right at home. We came during off season and during a winter storm so the nights were quiet but we could still hear occasional passerby’s. I could see it being much louder in the peak season and would take advantage of the thoughtful earplugs they provide.
They were also very thoughtful to leave Travel items like shampoo/conditioner, toothbrush/toothpaste, coffee/tea, hair dryer, etc.
On our departure I accidentally left my phone in the apartment and locked myself out. There was a lockbox but I didn’t see the code for that in the instructions which was totally my fault. So we called John and he rushed right over to left me in, and then even drove us quickly to the train station where we made the train within seconds of it leaving. He saved the day and we are so grateful for his kindness.
We loved this spot and definitely hope to visit here again.
