What a fantastic trip to Cork this was! From start to finish, Marie has been an outstanding host. She is extremely responsive to messages, friendly, helpful and accomodating. I had a slight issue getting in to the apartment upon arrival (entirely my fault, blame it on the travelling!) and within a minute she was there to help me get in.
The apartment is absolutely fantastic! It's in a very secure building, I never once felt unsafe being in there. There is lift access, and it is very spacious, making it disability-friendly. I arrived to find the place completely spotless, you can really tell that the cleaners know exactly what they are doing. It's decorated beautifully, with a range of tables and chairs, including the most comfortable single seater I've ever had the pleasure of sitting in! There are lots of lights which help to illuminate the apartment in the evening, but during the day the massive windows provide plenty of natural light. And being able to choose between having a quick shower or a nice relaxing bath was much appreciated!
The location of the apartment couldn't have been better for my needs. It's within walking distance of pretty much anything you'd like to see, and failing that, it's less than a 2 minute walk to the bus station. There's so much to see and do in the area that I can't even begin to go into it or I'll be typing for hours.
Marie is really on to a winner here. For the price I paid I was absolutely blown away by the experience I had, value for money doesn't even begin to cover it! I really hope that I get the chance to stay at Marie's place again next time I'm back in Cork City. Go raibh maith agat!
