Michael's place is the PERFECT location if you are wanting to explore Cork both during the day and night. The townhouse is very cosy and well set up and easily accommodated our family of 4 (we have 2 teenagers). The bonus is a free parking spot right outside the door inside a gated community so finding parking is not something you have to worry about. City center is 5 minutes walking distance which was wonderful for us to explore the English Market and enjoy going to restaurants and pubs. Michael had city maps available and highlighted popular areas for site seeing and eating which was incredibly helpful. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it for other travelers.
