Marie's apartment may be the best overall space I have rented in several years of world travels using Airbnb. It is located in a modern apartment building in Cork's city center the overlooks the River Lee with many pubs, bistros and shops nearby. Many of the city's best known attractions (Fort Elizabeth's, St. Fin Barre, English Market, etc.) are easily walkable from the building. Blackrock Castle is walkable too if you're willing to be a little ambitious. If not, it's a short taxi (we walked there & took a taxi back). The apartment itself is a spacious, stylish 1BR with a great balcony, big sitting area and comfortable bedroom. Bathroom is clean, spacious and modern. Marie was very communicative and friendly and even offered a couple of her favorite places for food/drinks nearby. Would 100% recommend this apartment!
