Marie and her husband are both very good hosts. We had a bit of a problem getting into the apartment because the keypad was not working properly. Hopefully this should be resolved for other guests Once this was sorted out we had a lovely stay in this smart city centre apartment. Very well place for the culinary and cultural delights Cork has to offer. If you want something which is more homely than a hotel I'd recommend this place and we'd love to stay again next time we are here.
