The location was terrific. Overall place was very nice. we were not able to have consistent warm showers. The few times we were able to have warm water, it was only a trickle of water. But, other than showers, we were very pleased with the Apartment 144.

Incredible location and property

This lovely apartment in Clifton is exactly the accommodations we wanted for my visit… beautiful, excellent location, outdoor space and spacious. I truly wish we had more time or could go back. This is the only place I would stay. Amazing! With 4 grown children, everyone had their own space and felt comfortable.

Perfect location in Clifden, close to all amenities, pubs, restaurants etc. Apartment is spacious and was spotless and easily accommodated our group.

Spacious and comfortable - great home for a family getaway!

Our family absolutely loved our stay in Clifden! Apartment 144 is comfortable and roomy. The kitchen / family room area with deck is fantastic, and the multiple bathrooms made it easy for everyone to get ready to explore the area both mornings.

Spacious and bright apartment in the center of Clifden

The apartment is ideally located in the town center of Clifden, a great little town. It is functional (several bathrooms, well equipped, parking spaces, etc.), bright, spacious and comfortable. We were 6 adults and 1 baby, we stayed 3 nights and could have stayed longer without a problem! The rental agency is very reactive when contacted. Thank you for this stay!

Clifden Retreat

Comfortable and clean. Plenty of room for each of us four ladies to have our own space. Living room and kitchen are well laid out together with open concept and access to the patio which wraps around the apartment! Great view of the town and the occasional full double rainbow. All the beds were great and shades blacked out the sun if necessary. The church across the way would toll starting at six a.m. which made us laugh but overall the place was a great location and really enjoyable. We were a little confused with the actual location and figuring out how to access the keys but it was worth it.

Excellent Location, Excellent, Responsive Caretaker

We’ve rented this location for several years. The primary positive feature is the location. The amenities are average. The owners did some required maintenance since our last stay in 2021, however, little attention has bee; given to several items which have not been addressed since our first stay, two upstairs doors to the upper deck did not open during our first stay and could not be opened during this stay. The shade in the upstairs en suite bedroom malfunctions; it must be opened all the way or closed completely and when it is closed it releases the entire shade onto the floor. This year we awoke and entered the kitchen to find the heater adjacent to the refrigerator dangerously hot and we smelled an electrical burn. We immediately called the caregiver who responded immediately by calling Love Connemara. We left the apartment until we were told that the matter had been addressed. We were told that a malfunctioning electrical switch had been replaced and the issue resolved. However, three or more hours after the repair, with all switches off, the heat remained too hot to the touch. I called Love Connemara, the rental agent, to express my concern. The young woman with who. I spoke was terse and appeared aggravated when I expressed my concern, stopping me mid-conversation, she said ”stop talking and listen to me, I’ve told you it’s not a problem. It will cool down.” Didn’t like her attitude then and as I recall the experience, my opinion has not changed. It was a safety and I was important and she brushed it off and appeared aggravated that we expressed concern that the unit remained too hot to touch three hours after the reported repair. That said, with.attention given to minor updates and repairs, this is an excellent property to rent primarily because of location.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct 2023
Dear Johnny, Thank you for your review and your feedback on your stay however we are dissapointed with some comments you have made that are incorrect.As soon as we were notified by you that a heater was too hot too touch and you had stated it was not on or had it turned it on and that you were going out for the day, we immediately contacted a certified electrician to check this issue and assured you the issue would be checked and we would update you. The electrician called to the apartment and checked switches and it appeared something may have knocked against heater switching it on because it appeared it was on overnight as it is electrical heating that heats up overnight to let heat out during day it would take some time to cool down. The electrician checked everything throughly and assured us that there was no risk involved and the heater would cool down and by the time you were to return it would be cool enough to touch. We contacted you by email as you had stated you would be out for the day to assure there was no risk as per the electricians instructions. You then proceeded to make contact by phone after we had emailed stating the heater was still too hot to touch and you kept referring to the fire department. We tried to reassure you again that the electrician had informed us that there was no risk and as you had stated you would be out for the day by the time you were to return the heater would have cooled down. The heater needed the time to cool down. At no point in this phone conversation were you told to stop talking and its not a problem. We can appreciate you were upset on the phone and We tried to reassure you and said we would have the electrician call back up to the apartment to assure you there was no risk. We would never disregard any guests issues or concerns or speak to a guest in that manner and especially when it may be a safety concern we would act immediately which we did with your safety being of utmost concern and you did contact us after to state the heater had in fact cooled down as per the electricians instruction that it would need the time to cool down. We are currently having the doors checked and we were unaware of the blind but we will also have this checked and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope this will not deter you from booking in the future and we hope to see you back in Clifden in 2024 for the Arts Festival.

The living room is just amazing, I loved getting up in the morning and sitting looking out the big balcony windows, the sunlight this apartment gets is amazing. We sat out a few evenings with our glass of wine and it was relaxing and private. I cooked most evenings as we were in Lockdown and the facilities were excellent. Trish and Irene were so helpful too. I will definitely return. This apartment is in a great location and in walking distance of all the amenities in Clifden.
