Classic Airbnb trope: started as hosts-guests, ended up as friends.
What to say about Clare and Steph, aka Cleph. As hosts, impeccable. As people, even better. We moved from the US to Ireland and stayed with them for a short while, and they could not have been more accommodating and helpful. They went out of their way to make a couple dopey, jet-lagged Yanks feel right at home, and didn’t even laugh too much when we attempted to fold up the clothes drying rack.
Location is a stone’s throw away from Kildare town square, and you don’t even have to be good at throwing stones. A 1-minute walk from bus stop & 12-minute walk from train station. Pubs, food, shops, cafes all within arm’s reach. Their house is spotless and the beds/rooms/bathrooms all very comfortable with plenty of space. I even got to watch the Last of Us on their account, then rewound it to the beginning so they didn’t know I saw it before them.
It’s a shame Airbnb has a limit of 5 stars.
