I enjoyed my stay at Pauline's home. The location was a 5-10 min walk to Patrick's Quay.
Since I went to Cork to take some Paddywagon tours to see the Irish countryside, this was a perfect home base for me. The room and bathroom is spacious and the bed super comfortable. Pauline responded the my emails in a timely manner and when my laptop broke, she kindly offered to lend me her laptop if I needed it and got her son to make me a printout of something I needed in Dublin. I had my own set of keys to the entrance doors so I could come and go as I pleased. One thing I wasn't expecting was that I couldn't lock the room. There was a bolt when I was inside the room but only a hook when I left to go out. Also, I happened to be in Cork during some bad storms and the controls for the heater were on the ground floor so there were some cold mornings when I woke up and evenings when I came back to the room. But Pauline was sweet enough to get it started for me one cold and rainy evening. Thanks, Pauline, for sharing your home with me. Give Lulu a pet on the head for me. I missed her nightly visits during the rest of my trip.
