Of the six different Airbnb places we stayed at on this trip, Liadian was our favorite. It is the genuine article, part of an old stone cottage with a thatched roof. Quintessential hominess. Though it is right next to a fairly busy road (as are most village buildings), the walls are so thick, it is very quiet. It was perfectly located for our exploration of the area (the picturesque village of Kinvara and the city of Galway). We especially enjoyed all the unique art filling the walls and shelves. Do not be put off by the slight damp smell when you first walk in. Just turn on the heater and it disappears. Liadian was so engaging and warm. Highly recommended!
