"Property is exactly as shown and described. No surprises here at this property. End townhouse was very clean and very quiet. It's an easy walk to Donegal town centre.Washer/dryer is a combined unit that washes well, but not a great dryer. There is a clothes rack in the main floor washroom that will definitely be needed. If you need a proper dryer it's best to head to the washer/dryers at the Circle-K that's just around the corner.Super location and an excellent unit. Would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in lovely Donegal!!"
