It's hard to rate this place, there were some really good things but also some things that could have been a lot better. For one, it's a family of four with two almost teenage boys and very thin walls. I didn't know that going in, and I needed a quiet space to work, and unfortunately this really didn't fit that description with kids being kids. Then when I first met the host he questioned me on my religious beliefs. The listing says there's a dryer, but when I used it the host stopped halfway through and argued with me that it was bad for my clothes and I couldn't use it. I said I would hang my clothes in my room and then he argued that that was bad too, and I could instead use the family drying rack in the kitchen. I wasn't going to leave my clothes in public and eventually he ceded, but I felt like the host was needlessly argumentative over simple lifestyle differences, even if he was trying to be helpful. Plus communication was a bit hard because when I would send a simple question over text, I'd often have to wait for him to come back because he'd rather answer it in person or talk over video call. Overall I would have personally enjoyed more privacy and independence. On the other hand, everyone was very welcoming and open. The kids were an absolute joy to talk to, and the hosts wife let me tag along with her for some authentic Irish music, and it was one of my all time favorite experiences. They also made special accommodations for me to check in while they were out of town, which was very nice of them. I don't think anything was malintentioned, but ultimately I ended up leaving three days early for a more comfortable environment.
