The room in Elaine’s home is very clean and quiet, which was perfect after long days of sight-seeing. The bed was slightly dipped in the middle, so if you come with a friend or partner, you may end up in the middle by morning. The bed and pillows were still comfortable regardless.
The bathroom door, as other guests have mentioned, is glass, which can create some privacy issues if you were to travel with a friend, parent, etc.
Parking is right out front of the home, and easy to access because we drove a relatively small vehicle during our stay. I think we would have struggled parking a larger vehicle on the terrace.
The home is about a 25-30 minute walk downhill to the City Center (the hill is steep walking back up, which we did, but I may recommend taking a taxi back up to other visitors).
I didn’t realize that there was another AirBnb room in the upstairs of the home (which I may have missed when I read the listing originally). There was another AirBnb guest staying in the adjacent room, but we never heard or saw them. It was not an issue for us during our stay.
Elaine was very kind, and met us upon arrival. She has great recommendations if you need them, and if you don’t, she’s happy to let you go on your way, which I think are traits of an ideal host.
I would definitely recommend staying here, if you are considering it!
Thanks for having us, Elaine! We had a wonderful visit in Cork!
