Pearse was very communicative prior to arrival in Cork and always returned our messages within 24 hours. He provided directions and contact information as well. The location of the flat is ideal as it is within walking distance to the city centre, but just far enough outside to be extremely quiet for sleeping. The flat itself is well-designed and reflects a unique style that made us smile. It is comfortable and welcoming, and the daybed on the ground floor can be a magnet for afternoon naps. The cupboards were well-stocked with good stuff when we arrived, and we were especially thankful for the chocolate, wine and soda bread. Pearse responded immediately to a small issue with the heating - it was unseasonably cold during our visit - and we were very comfortable and toasty during the remainder of our stay. He was also very respectful of our privacy, but did check in once or twice to make sure all was well. A nice visit, indeed, and very recommended!
