John’s place is not a great place to stay if you want to be close to anything in Cork. Nearly a 20 minutes walk up and down backstreets that you may not want to walk on during the evening hours. The apartment was generally clean upon arrival, but the kitchen counters were dirty and sticky, and the bed sheets and pillows smelled of cigarette smoke. Bathroom is functional, but is heavily outdated. For the price, you can find many better places in Cork.
