For my wife and I recent stay we were underwhelmed by Pauline’s room. Having carefully reviewed the comments and pictures together before we booked our stay.
1.	As you will find in previous reviews
Pauline’s home is not far from downtown Cork. It’s on a main thoroughfare and bus line. It’s quite noisy and finding parking is challenging.
2.	We found the room spacious as previously described. But offered inadequate lighting to read a book, or a map in our case, and the ceiling had several cob webs.
3.	The en-suite has a large private bath with a beautiful claw foot tub and a separate shower. The ceiling is peeling and too many cob webs hanging down to count. The separate shower was found to have the lower half with mold and what should have been white grout to be black.
4.	The rating of a super host is something a traveler uses to help decide on selecting a place to stay. There is an expectation of standards that are adhered to and maintained. I realize Airbnb relies on the traveler to report reviews.
Pauline although she instructed us how to obtain the required parking pass she suggested that we did not need to pay to park as the Garda “doesn’t make it up here”. Which could be an unexpected expense if ticketed for a guest.
5 -WiFi password was provided on a crumbled page of notebook paper.
6- the door lock to bedroom is sorely inadequate and would only require a very light push to open. The door to the hallway is a hook and eye latch. You can not secure your room when you leave. We pulled the doors shut, as well as our bedroom door to find both open on our return.
Overall. I would not recommend a stay here especially at the price we paid of 120 euro a night. There are many clean hotel options in this price range.
