As other reviews say, the views are just stunning from Rita's place (specifically from the living room, with full-length windows facing the beautiful landscape, and from the kitchen). Beautiful spot and spacious accommodation, with plenty of supplies for cooking (including a grill/convection microwave for baking!). Some extra notes specific to my experience: Rita accommodated me last-minute after my housing plans in Dublin unexpectedly didn't work out. She met me and made sure I was comfortable when I checked in, which was lovely. I only used public transit while I was there, which worked out nicely for traveling from Dublin and to Limerick after (there's a bus stop conveniently at the bottom of the hill from Rita's house - a 20 minute walk - that covers transit needs outside of Bunratty). I was able to walk everywhere, including down to the castle, pubs/cafes, and to a gas station with decent grocery options for my two-day stay. I loved how tranquil and comfortable everything was - I couldn't have asked for a better spot to spend my time.
