This place is in the best location for visiting restaurants, pubs and bars and close to bus and train transportation. Everything is right outside your front door. It is the perfect apartment for a particular kind of traveler. But be aware, it is quirky!
When we arrived at the Cork address, we discovered there are in fact two identical addresses on the same street and in the same block. Confusing. Once we had the correct location, we entered the building and started up the stairs to the apartment on the fourth floor (if you're from the US, it's the fifth floor). There are a lot of stairs in a very old building. The staircases are not level and each set has it own unlevelness.
Once in the apartment, it has an old-world charm. The furniture is eclectic and matches the age of the apartment. The floors of the apartment are not level but are a different not level to the stairs. We did not cook, but the kitchen is equipped with what looks to be a very high end stove. It is a fully stocked, comfortable kitchen. Plumbing in the apartment has been updated and the bathroom shower works as you would expect.
Bedrooms are large and the beds comfortable. There are no closets or wardrobes for hanging clothes. As expected in a building of this age, the floors creak ... a lot.
If the idiosyncrasies of old buildings delight you, you will love this place. And you will find yourself in the middle of the action. Seamus was very responsive to all our enquiries.
