John was very welcoming and flexible - we booked only a week in advance and arrived close to 9pm, but we had no issues finding the place, checking in, or travelling to/from Cork City. Our stay was lovely and complication free, and it was really cool having a wander through all the art in the house. We loved that the location was really close to the harbour and enjoyed going for a walk and getting a coffee nearby in the mornings. One thing to note is that the cathedral bells ring every 15 minutes from 7am to midnight, but after the first night we became more accustomed to them. We'd highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for something different and in a prime location.
