Tony and his brothers were very hospitable and responsive. Tony answered text messages promptly. The apartment is very comfortable and well-appointed, and the location is superb. Parking is a 2- or 3-minute walk away in a multi-storey carpark with very reasonable rates. Simply speak to the customer-service office at the entrance to the carpark, and the attendant will sell you a pass that allows you to come and go as you please, for a daily rate that was, for us, $4/day, which I consider very good value. But you won't need your car in Kilkenny itself, for everything is within easy walking distance of the apartment. Because it is the middle of town, there will be some noise from nearby pubs and take-aways, but it subsides around midnight or a bit later on the weekend. We slept in the back bedroom, the one away from the street, and were undisturbed. Highly recommended. Thank you, Tony.
