A wonderful stay in a unique west Cork penthouse!
On arrival at the property we were greeted by it's warm and welcoming host Deirdre who has recently created a spectacular hideaway christened the Paris Penthouse in her former home now known as The Residence.
We were guided up two short flights of stairs to the bright and spacious Paris Penthouse where the fridge had been stocked with milk, olives and sun-dried tomatoes accompanied by fresh baguettes. The Paris Penthouse has an incredibly luxurious feel with it's high gloss kitchen and top quality furnishings. The attention to detail is second to none.
The large wooden bed was dressed with beautiful bedding complemented by the most comfortable of pillows.
The spacious studio is cleverly laid out with defined spaces for cooking, dining and of course sleeping. There is also a large seating area with sofa and matching built in seats. This is where we relaxed in the evening time.
Despite the property being in the heart of Bantry town there was little or no noise to be heard from the quiet side street. Everything is on one's doorstep with shops, cafes and restaurants all within a three minute walk.
This new rental property is quite simply a hidden gem in the heart of west Cork. We look forward to returning for a longer stay later in the year even if it is just to experience the spectacular penthouse for a second time.
For those unable to secure a booking at the Paris penthouse, it might be worth noting that Deirdre has created a sister apartment on the first floor of the Residence building which she has christened the "Berlin" apartment. This brand new one bedroom apartment is also available through Airbnb.
I doubt that the "Berlin" apartment will disappoint judging by the elegance and flair of it's Parisian neighbour.
