It was easy to communicate with Patrick, but at the same time he let us have our privacy. We could use kitchen, and as Patrick was mostly in living room when home, we used kitchen for quick coffee or meal and place to relax. House is nicely decorated and clean. Patrick has a dog that is big, but very friendly and trained exceptionally good. As in most Irish homes it was a bit cold inside but on the bed is electric blanket that keeps you worm :)
