Mark is an excellently responsive and helpful host, and laid in numerous helpful items for a day's groceries while I figured out how to get food delivered, to comply with the lockdown requirement to minimize shopping excursions. Once my two weeks of self-isolation were served, the apartment was just a short walk to the city center, near ti an ALDI one way and a coffee shop/minimart the other way. The apartment is accurately described as compact, and over two weeks of quarantine that verged on the claustrophobic, but for very good light and ventilation (there is no air conditioning). While not misdescribed, I have to say that the mattress was not comfortable or supportive enough for my bad back, so I could not consider coming back unless the mattress was switched out for a new one that was more orthopedic. The foam topper simply did not support my back. It was also not possible to rest my back by reclining on the sofa, which is too small. Meanwhile, the kitchen is small but well-equipped, except that the small size of the sink and the cramped location of the drying rack made soaking and drying the dishes a frustrating chore. Finally, the lack of standard Irish TV channels makes the apartment a difficult place to quarantine, as one cannot watch the news of the host country. I did like the location of the house, the light and ventilation from the windows, and Mark's responsiveness to questions. I wish the apartment size and especially its furnishings provided better value, so I could recommend it.
