We had a wonderful stay here in Kilkenny. The flat is a very short walk to the city center and Kilkenny castle. Great pubs and restaurants all around. We were unable to meet the owner but the pub staff was expecting us and had our room clean and ready. We did not experience any noise from the pub below during the night, and the room was well stocked with essentials. There is a handy little kitchen across the hall that was well stocked and clean. We would definitely recommend this place!
