My stay in Janie's place was my first venture into Airbnb. I am a person who likes my comforts and normally stay in the best accommodation I can afford, which usual means a good hotel. I was attending a wedding in Borris, and local hotels were booked out. There were quite a few Airbnb homes available in the surrounding area, but Janie's Place caught my eye as being different and unique, and I was right.
A small country cottage in the foothills of Mount Leinster, it had charm and warm't and decorated with all the little touches you expect of an artists retreat.
My bedroom was so cosy and the bed so comfortable that I felt like a bear must, while in hibernation. I never wanted to get up and leave.I had my own separate bathroom with glorious victorian bath (which I did not get a chance to use), shower and the most generous selection of towels.
Next morning Janie had the table set in the living room with a selection of breads, pastries and jams. Add to that my requested large pot of strong breakfast tea, good conversation, lots of tips about the area, and there was only one conclusion: A superb alternative to the usual modern everyday boring accommodation in which I usually tend to stay for business convenience.!
