Ronan and Bianca have a really unique space in a great location (but be aware that there is a fairly steep hill to climb to get to it). You are just a couple of minutes walk from shops, pubs, and restaurants, as well as museums and bus/train stations. Ronan is a wealth of information and recommendations. All in all, a great place to stay, and a great place to base your explorations of Cork and the coastal areas to its east and west.
