Great location for being in the heart of Kilkenny. The apartment was clean and accommodating and perfect for a small group of people. You are in the midst of the Medieval Mile, everything within walking distance. The apartment backs up to Kilkenny Castle. Yep, you share a common wall. Thursday's Farmer's Market is just around the corner; make sure you buy the local produce and order the Indian Lentil Curry dish. Night time proved lively by hearing the local musicians and patrons 'living it up,' which actually was really cool, because you felt 'Ireland.' What little TV we wanted to watch was put to a halt, due to technical issues, which our host's brothers couldn't remedy. If you're into TV, just be made aware. Tony's brothers were great though with helping us on anything else, even brought us fresh towels a few times. Also, we were advised to park in the Ormonde St parking structure for the week, purchasing an inexpensive ticket to come/go as we pleased. This was super until we left for our early AM flight out of Dublin. The structure was closed and we couldn't get to our car. Fortunately a passing taxi told us to go into a local hotel, where they had a key for the garage. (We never would have thought to do this.) This one lone porter was found and he came to the rescue. Good lesson for us on assumptions of operation hours. Bottom line...if you want a city experience in a lovely Irish city, stay here at Tony's place. You'll come away with grand memories.
