I cannot say enough about Oona's place. This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had. Oona and Paul are incredible hosts. Their home is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen in Ireland. Our room was lovely with great linens, heated blankets and plenty of pillows.
Oona even provided robes and slipper socks for us. We couldn't have felt more welcome.
To top it off, Oona gave us a lift into town so we could take in some music and get dinner, the pub and restaurant they recommended were both wonderful. She then gave us a lift back out to their home, so we could have a few beverages and not worry about driving.
We then watched the moon over the bay from the bench swing in the garden, truly magical.
In the morning we went for a long walk on the nearby beach, which is one of the most beautiful I've ever spent time on. It was a two minute drive up the road.
Then we returned to a wonderful home-cooked breakfast.
I could go on and on, and we didn't want to leave. Oona and Paul made our introduction to Sligo truly magical, and we can't wait to return someday.
If you're the type of traveller who enjoys getting to know your hosts, learning about the local area, and staying in a unique, gorgeous home, stay here! (And if you aren't, what on earth are you doing on Airbnb? Go book a dang hotel!)
And finally,
There once were some gals from the Rockies
Whose knowledge of Sligo was spotty
But they booked Oona's place, and boy was it ace;
And now their review's gotten dotty.
