We had a wonderful time in Kinvara and much as a result of Judy's place. Our immediate reaction on entering was what a beautiful place. And 5 days looking out on a continually changing bay and ocean! And even a castle!
We never ended up meeting Judy. We've had a number of Airbnb experiences in the past and that is not so unusual. Melanie greeted us and was very helpful in explaining all that was necessary. On the other hand, Judy and I communicated frequently before our arrival and she was able and ready to provide all kinds of advice and information in advance, so the only surprise was that her place was so nice. Modern, functional and very stylish.
We make most of our meals rather than eat out in restaurants. For that purpose, the fridge and stove were a very good size and dishes, cutlery, pots, pans and cookware were all there. Beds were comfortable, washing machine worked well and racks were available for drying clothes. Lots of room in living room. Kitchen also had good-size table and chairs.
Kinvara is a small town with lots of its own charm. We were there mostly as a point for visiting other sites in the area. But is there any way to beat an ocean view and sea air, friendly pubs and restaurants, and a very good grocery store (including freshly-baked soda bread every morning) for the cook?
