Pros: Good location especially if you want to be in Killarney Center, nearby food and bars, parking is vey easy in the parking lot John recommends and free on Sundays. Basic kitchen essentials are there for use which was appreciated. John was a very kind host and was clear in his communications. Have a washer was really appreciated! Certainly take Johns advice and air dry clothes over night the dryer takes a very long time. Self check in was easy and place was clean
Cons: Preface I really wanted to love this place but I think our timing was bad which left us with more cons than pros. The first and most notable was the noise. We stayed on a Saturday night. On arrival Rachel (John’s helper) let us know a new bar had just opened outside the apartment and that we would need to use earplugs. We had read other reviews and have stayed in cities so we were expecting noise (and they left ear plugs) but wow was it a loud! The bar had live music right outside the window of the apartment until around midnight and street/bar sounds onwards until 3am. Unfortunately despite the ear plugs sleeping was impossible until late in the evening. Now if you’re up that late then it won’t bug you but it left us grumpy and sleep deprived which was not a pleasant way to be on vacation. Sunday night was completely fine as the bars were not as busy and we got a full night sleep. There were a few car alarms throughout our stay but that comes with the territory. Other minor con is the water pump is very noisy. If you flush the toilet or grab some water from the tap in the middle of the night it will be loud. The bed is a bit uncomfortable and noisy if you move in your sleep. We added a blanket underneath and that made it way more comfortable. Highly recommend doing that for extra comfort. Might be worth adding an extra pillow since there were only 3 in the apartment and they are not very supportive. We used one of the pillows from the couch for extra support in the bed.
