This apartment was just as pictured and an easy 15 min walk to the center. We slept well and there was plenty of hot water and pressure in the shower. The kitchen seemed well supplied, but we did not cook so I am not sure about pots, plans, etc. The apartment was generally clean with some minor items that need attention.
We did not meet Padriag but we did appreciate the welcome with our name on the chalkboard and the US flag and the various brochures on things to do.
The Taxi app and service were great - we used it for a ride to the train stain and it was early, immaculate and €8.50. Padriag was very quick to respond to any communication.
