I highly recommend booking Joanne's place! The place was honestly even better than the pictures and you couldn't beat the price for the location!
The beds were comfortable, the place was clean, Joanne was extremely responsive (even while she was away on her own holiday!!), and she even had such thoughtful additions such as having coffee, milk, tea, snacks, etc. ready for us to eat which I thought was so nice.
Now do keep in mind that this is an older house so with that are some quirks but not a single one of them my sister or I minded and Joanne did an amazing job of warning us of anything to be aware of/keep in mind.
Lastly, the location and privacy of the place was unbeatable! My sister and I felt very safe in her house/area, which is something that is very important to us.
Plus, it was in such a great location where you're a 20-minute walk from downtown Cork and a 5-minute walk to a market, a pub, and a coffee shop (all amazing!). You're also so close to a bus stop that if it's rainy or you don't feel like walking, you can easily hop on the bus for 1.90 euro (cash only BTW!!) and head to the city or head home from the city.
All in all, I highly recommend Joanne's place if you're looking for a comfortable, clean, well-located place - I truly believe you'll love it as much as we did!
