This spot is exactly as advertised, because the host clearly states it is not right downtown and there is a hill coming home at night. We downloaded mytaxi app and could easily get home when the hill felt too big. It is a cute little spot and we could always zoom up and park our rental car, which is a big deal when you realize how difficult parking is the closer you get to City Center. A nice stroll down the hill before dinner and pubs was good for us. When we did drive downtown to get breakfast before going out to explore (ballycotton cliffs was a fave) we parked in the public parking at Aldi’s grocery (they validate first hour free if you go in to get anything). Gerard had many suggestions for us to try during our stay in Cork and was very responsive when setting up the reservation and for the questions we had upon arrival. A great value and cozy stay for our first stay in our first ever trip to Ireland, thank you Gerard!
