I should begin by saying that the apartment itself was gorgeous as was Kells beach itself. Unfortunately though we did not have a good experience beyond the prettiness of the accommodation. Following our booking our initial communication with Ita was good and swift. We were due to arrive on Sunday afternoon and I messaged Ita to give an approximate arrival time. A couple of hours into our journey we got a message saying that the fire was unusable. The message did say that they would need to speak to the builders the following day to get it fixed and if it was a deal breaker that alternative accommodation could be arranged. We decided it would be OK and thanked Ita for letting us know. On arrival we were greated by Ben and welcomed and shown around to the apartment. He apologised again for the fire. On Monday morning the issues really began. We had absolutely no privacy. Our apartment was a building site. Our private patio was a pathway for the builders to access the back of the main house. We had to keep the curtains closed all week because the builders had literally set up their workbench outside the front bedroom window. Our beautiful views were that of white vans and cement mixers. The dog wouldn't settle as there were constantly people in our space which meant we could not relax at all aside from the evenings. For the first few days the works were starting at around 10am. We bit our tongues as we knew we would be out for the day. On Thursday morning the banging began shortly after 8am and we had had enough. We explained our issues to Ben who asked the builders to keep the noise down. Drilling began at 9.30. Ita called to offer chocolates and to apologise for that particular morning, she offered us two nights free another weekend. She was unaware of all of the other issues which we had already explained to Ben. We accepted her apologies and felt she had taken our disappointment on board. Unfortunately the following morning the builders arrived again at 8.30am. Nothing had been taken on board after all. In all the time the builders were around us, they never attempted to fix the fire. It was far from the private idyllic getaway we had hoped for and the one I really needed before going for surgery the following Monday. I considered the fact that Ita had offered us a couple of days in return for the issues, and had we been able to enjoy our final morning in the apartment then this review may have been very different but unfortunately our week ended up being a stressful one instead of the one we had planned and none of our complaints were taken on board so I felt it only fair to give a true review. We would have no interest in going back there now. This was my third Air BnB experience and thankfully...
