This lodging was the best we encountered on our Ireland travels! Very convenient location, with great response and info from our host John. Very clean and well-lit (lots of natural light), with bonus of 3 bathrooms (2 full, 1 half). Great, easy to use showers (best ones on our trip), comfortable beds, and good lighting, fans in all rooms, and windows that open (all had blinds). Bus stop just outside the door, and a safe, open parking lot about 300 meters up the street (John provided a map with numerous parking options as part of the info). Easy walk to St. Anne's Tower, numerous cafes, restaurants, and pubs and only 2-3 minutes to the English Market (a MUST VISIT!). John also included suggestions on places to visit, restaurants, breakfast places, and pubs, many of which we went to. This apartment and host support helped make Cork our favorite Irish city - would definitely stay here again!
Suggestions: better instructions on emptying the grounds from the coffee machine (a very nice one that grinds fresh coffee!). Also, some way to turn off the heaters would be nice, along with better fans for the upstairs rooms (ones that move more air).
