Michael is a very friendly host, who was flexible in meeting us for a tour, and gave good information about places to hike, cautionary notes about driving on the "wrong" side of the road, etc. His place is good, but I did not think it quite reflected the high marks other guests have given it. In retrospect, I think I should have noted that the lower price relative to our other stays in Ireland probably indicates the type of place it is: it's a good, basic, vacation rental. A little more attention to detail (cleaning, materials provided, etc) would have gained higher marks for me. It is a good location for seeing The Burren and nearby places like Doolin. I do not think the walk to town is safe after dark: you will be walking in the roadway part of the time and may not be highly visible to car traffic. Overall, it suited our needs for location.
