We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cork. Geraldine's apartment was very spacious and well-furnished. It was also very clean though the kitchen had an odd odor at first that we think came from the sink.
Geraldine left information on various aspects of the apartment as well as provided brochures for and directions to nearby places of interest. We found this to be quite helpful.
The kitchen is equipped with a stove, oven, microwave, and refrigerator. We were able to make breakfasts and do light cooking.
The rooms are very nicely furnished. The bedrooms were very comfortable and we loved the warm, cushy quilts and pillows on the beds. The living room had a TV, books, and a very lovely view of a nearby lake.
The bathrooms were nice, but we couldn't get the heater in the main bathroom shower to work to our liking although detailed instructions was available on how to operate it. This could be due to our own failure to understand the instructions provided. Because of that we used the 2nd bathroom for showering and this one for the toilet, and it worked out well for my family of 4.
The apartment is located in a residential area and I don't think there are many shops or restaurants within a short walking distance. We had a car and were able to drive to nearby towns such as Cork, Cobh and Kinsale. There is a Tesco about 5 minute drive away.
