We enjoyed our stay at Sean's Place. The apartment is perfectly located just a couple blocks from the entrance to Killarney National Park and the walking trails over to the Killarney House. It is also just a block away from Main Street in Killarney making for easy walking access to all of the great local pubs, restaurants, shops and groceries. There's a large public parking lot at the end of the block or free parking in the public lot at St. Mary's Church (about 3-4 blocks away). The visitor center is also next door to the Beechcourt apartment building. There is a food co-op and coffee shop/bakery located next store - another excellent convenience to staying at Sean's Place.
Sean's Place was clean, quiet and roomy for three adults. However, the third bedroom with a single bed is quite small so probably better suited for a child than an adult. Sean was extremely responsive to our questions, not only while making reservations but also during our stay. He went above and beyond to have a drying rack for clothes delivered to us so that we could do a load of wash (we had been traveling for a few days before arriving to Sean's Place so it was nice to be able to wash some clothes while at his place). It was delivered to us within 10 minutes of our request!
Other nice touches -- a basket of snacks and dried foods as well as oats and tea for breakfast. Plenty of pillows on each bed and a couple extras in the closet.
