The place is not clean, especially the kitchen. The only positive experience was Charlie, who is a gorgeous, clean and obedient dog. We stayed since the beginning of January until beginning of April. We left before our check out date, end of April, as we were not happy with the cleanliness of the place. We stayed in the double room and there was mould by the window and you could also see it behind the wallpaper where the paper was peeling of. Food was left out in the kitchen which wasn’t in line with health-safety regulations, the cupboards are full of grease which I cleaned regularly. The location is great as it is in front of the UCC and it is fairly near the city centre. Some guests are asked for a 40 euro deposit, some are asked for 20,some are not asked for it. We never got ours back. Thankfully Airbnb were fantastic and helped us out with the situation. We left the bedroom in a clean state and gave our fluffy blanket to Charlie. Michael tries hard to keep in line with COVID restrictions as there is hand sanitizer by the door but he leaves the windows and doors open all day which makes the house fairly cold as it is Ireland and January can be quite cold. I felt uncomfortable when Michael would mention we used too much electric when all we would use was the small light in the bedroom, the washing machine twice a week and charging our laptops for working at home whereas he would leave radio, lights and tv on even when he was not at home or sleeping. This is not all because of culture clash, as I am half British half Irish, born in Sligeach. My partner was doing a phd in the UCC and is also aware of Catalan-Irish differences, so this is not the case. I think for short stays the place is ok as the reviews say but as soon as there are longer stays then it’s different. I would also like to give some advice to the host himself, if your guest is sensible towards animal cruelty and welfare please don’t tell her that you are setting rat traps, or tell her while she is cooking/eating that there is a dead bird in the garden, etc. It was rather uncomfortable. We gave some good stars because as I said Charlie is great and the location is handy. I finish this review here
