Excellent space from which to explore Cork. We had a wonderful stay at Joanne's place. It's close to the station, a taxi will get you there really quickly in case of a sudden downpour like we experienced. Joanne's mother was there to very kindly welcome us and explain everything. Breakfast and snacks were thoughtfully left for us and everything was present to make tea or coffee or a gourmet meal if required. The place was immaculate and peaceful. It's an easy downhill walk into town, and there are buses back up if you want to avoid the climb. All in all a brilliant stay.
