Eleanor is knowledgable and kind and represents the best of Irish hospitality. I stayed at her place for one week and had an awesome experience. When I was there, it was cold and it rained frequently and it felt like home to get back after a day of exploring and Eleanor would offer some tea or coffee and sit down and talk with you about what you experienced and learned. I also really appreciated learning about Irish history and culture as my surname originates from Ireland and Eleanor had great suggestions on how to explore this.
I was open to her suggestions on seeing the non-touristy areas which resulted in a better experience than wading through crowds of people. For instance, by listening to Eleanor I was able to see cliffs, castles, explore my genealogy and spend time in the area of Ireland my ancestors are likely from, I saw the countryside, mountains, lakes, and valleys and the big city. So even though I did not drive all over Ireland, I saw everything Ireland has to offer in one week without burning myself out.
This was my first Airbnb experience, so I was not sure how I would feel spending a week in someone else's home, but Eleanor was a fantastic host and her diamond super host rating is well deserved. Where her home is located is also a good starting point to go to west Ireland, the middle of the country, or even the south, depending on how many days you have to explore.
I cannot speak enough about Eleanor's hospitality. If your travels take you anywhere near Limerick, you should really consider booking Eleanor's place.
