This apartment is comfortable and well equipped. The living/ dining area is small but has everything you need. There is plenty of heating and hot water if needed. Shona is a very friendly and accommodating host. Communication was excellent. She left some essentials in the fridge for us which is a lovely touch. She called during our stay to enquire how things were and see if we needed extra towels. We didn't, she left a great supply from the first. Two of the bedrooms have slat type blinds and no curtains. They were not very light excluding which might interfere with sleeping. The listing does say that Shona is next door but it is worth noting that she is extremely close
and your outside table etc would not afford much privacy. Hosts were never intrusive but would be walking past etc. The walled seating area pictured is to the far side of the host's own house, and while you could use it I'm sure, it would not be very private. This apartment is in a good location for exploring Clare especially Spanish Point, Lahinch area.
