When it comes to location, John's place could not be anymore in the city. It's literally right in the middle of town. It was very spacious and clean. We enjoyed walking throughout the city and exploring. It's just a 10 minute drive, if that, into Killarney National Park. As we knew about before booking, being in the center of town it is a little loud at night as the pubs are right below you. However, John and his wife did provide a fan and ear plugs, which did the job, to help drown out some of the noise. I would stay here again anytime.
