Great stay at Marie's place. Apartment is an a very safe building and lively area. Bus stop around the corner, English Market as well as the other markets all well within walking distance from her place. If you're looking for a central Cork location this would be it. The apartment itself was PERFECT. Bed was super comfy and bathroom was a very good size (coming from an American's perspective, very high compliment). There's an elevator in the building and a pay to park garage underneath the building, wasn't terribly expensive considering the location. There's some street noise considering the location so this may not work for light sleepers and the bathtub is quite high, so if your handicap that may be harder to use. Other then that GREAT stay at Marie's place. Marie is a total sweetheart too, we had hiccups in our travel plans and she went above and beyond to try and help us.
