We began our 8 day vacation in Ireland in Cork, and stayed in John's home for two nights. We could not have asked for a better experience to start our trip, John is such a kind man and overly accommodating, beginning with welcoming us in for tea when our plane came in 2 hours early and ending with sitting with us and helping plan a bus route to our next destination. The bedroom and accomadations are comfortable, and it's a great location to visit Cork City - we had no trouble walking (~25mins) but there is also a bus near by. But again, what made the stay memorable is kindness shown by John (and Sam!) Highly recommend staying here if ever in the area.
