My boyfriend and mylself spent two nigths at Lina`s place (Chrismas period) Everything went very well. The communication with her was easy, she reply the messages straight away. The house was also very cleaned, the room is confortable, these are important aspects when you are travelling in my opinion. The house is big and quiet, so you can have a lot of privacy, and a good nigth`s sleep. She also offers a basic breakfast. I am not able to say anything about the distance from her place to Cork`s attractions, because we went just to visit friends, and we did not get the chance of going around, however it was close to my friends house, so for us it was pretty handy. I would recommend Lina`s place.
