We booked this at short notice as we decided to travel part of the way to Cork as we were going to a wedding. We made the reservation at 12 midnight and had a response from John before 8 the next morning. He was prompt with all his responses and was very accommodating when we arrived much later than we had planned.
The apartment was lovely, very central. John met us and was a very relaxed host and gave us great recommendations. The bedroom was lovely with a nice big bed and that bathroom had a bath big enough for two! Its a great central location close to everything. We eat at the Tannery and had a few pints in he Local, with great music. All very close. Its an "above the shop" apartment so really convenient to everything. The morning was a little noisy with the usual Center of town early morning activities, rubbish collection, street cleaning and beer delivers but it only made it all the more charming. Really loved the apartment and location and we will definitely be back.
