We had a great stay at Emma's over the Christmas holidays. Her home was comfortable and the location was so convenient - a few minutes walk from the city. On Barrack's Street, I highly recommend visiting Alchemy for coffee, Tom Barry's for a pint, and Pigalle for food and cocktails. We loved staying in this old, historic building with its thick stone walls contrasted by Emma's stylish furnishings. The two double beds were comfortable. We vented the rooms during the day by opening the windows and also had the added benefit of the Nest heating system that kept us warm throughout our stay. Emma's responsiveness and communication was second to none. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to cook comfortably when we wanted to and the washer/dryer was easy to use and a welcomed amenity. The only downside is that it was booked after Dec. 22nd. Otherwise, we would have loved to have stayed there our entire Christmas visit! We would definitely stay there again our next trip back to Cork!
