The very best thing about this space: the location cannot be beat - so central to all the great things in Kilkenny. However, if you don't mind staying in hostel-type arrangements, then the Pumphouse is for you.
I might be done booking AirBNBs in foreign countries because I had expected "3 xrooms over Traditional Irish Pub". The photos showed multiple doorways even though the more detailed description listed "3 guests, 1 bedroom" - I should have gotten clarification that this really meant "old-timey boarding house". We were pretty surprised that we had one room and shared the bathroom with the other guests who came in very late and very loudly. My spoiled American ways did not anticipate the conditions of the entryway or bedroom (cluttered, peeling plaster, uneven and deteriorating stairs and floors), even though a sign was posted in the space, apologizing for "improvements being made". We appreciated that both a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm (CO2s not usual for AirBNBs, never ceases to amaze me) was included - while we didn't see them, we hoped they were installed because to exit the room would have been akin to an obstacle course - besides aforementioned stairs and halls, the key needs to stay in the room's door lock.
All in all, we loved how close it was to all the sights but should have done our due diligence in making sure the room was comfortable and safe.
