The host Dan is an extremely amenable host. Very considerate and excellent communication, especially checking up on me as I was running late causing me to arrive after he had to go out.
The location is away from the town centre but that's accessible easily on foot. A word of caution though. The centre of Cork is situated in a valley so you will be negotiating a bit of a hilly route to Dan's place if on foot. However, the area is serviced by bus and there's a stop not too far away from Dan's.
All the amenities are there and Dan is very much a people person who makes you feel very relaxed and welcome. Highly recommended.
