Absolutely brilliant place right in the heart of Killarney, central to everything you would need, steps from the Tesco, Centra, local shops, restaurants, and all the possibilities for touring around from the town. Especially good if you don't have a car, 10 minute walk to bus or train station. 5 minutes walk to rent a bike.Could literally catch a touring bus into the park from outside the front door (recommend the RedBus), although you can also walk to Knockreer House and Gardens or Killarney House in minutes (don't skip these).
John provides great communication throughout the whole stay, before,during and after. Although we never actually met, the self check in process was a breeze and visually detailed in an email that explains the simple process. I also knew if I had any problems John would have been there to help.
Inside was sparkling clean and a great bed with a comfortable duvet and pillows (I'm fussy about those things) When you close the blinds built into the skylights and close the door you are in complete darkness which is how I prefer to sleep.
Yes you are above a busy touristy steet which music and noise could be an issue especially if you are an ultra light sleeper but John provides earplugs (which I didn't need) and a white noise machine which I used all night which drowned most of the street noise away. Honestly it was the BEST nights sleep I had during my whole Irish adventure.
The bathroom was spotless and although I didn't use the shower it wasn't because of any issue, I had an early bus and just didn't have the time.
The kitchen/living room was wonderful to relax in and a nice space to eat in. It's further from the street noise as well. John provides clear instructions on notes in the home and everything was clean and modern. One big plus was the ability to recycle my paper and plastics which I appreciated.
This would be a good place for a solo traveler or a couple. It might be tricky for a family although there is a small couch you could have a child sleep on in the living room.
Overall, a brilliant stay and someplace I would love to return to. Thanks again John!
