Brian was extremely attentive and responsive. He went out of his way to ensure I was welcomed for check-in. He explained the apartment, which was very cute inside. He made sure to answer all my queries and provided help in trying to plan my visit to maximize time spent in Ireland. A wonderful and kind Host that went out of his way to make me comfortable. I was traveling solo and as a female felt very safe staying in his home. I also can't recommend enough that you try breakfast around the corner at The Fumbally cafe -- an absolute delight!!
