They say location is everything, and it really is! John's place is literally around the corner (walking distance) from a multitude of shops, restaurants, and pubs. This was our first trip to Killarney and the convenient location made it easy for us to partake in many of the local attractions. We did have a car, so we took a day to drive The Ring of Kerry (amazing scenery) and visit Ross Castle (very nearby). There is a car park across the street (3 euro a day), but we likely could have fit our car in the small back yard, had we chosen to. We availed ourselves of the local "Aldi" to buy items for breakfast. This kitchen had all of the items necessary to make a simple meal, and it was very cozy! The upstairs bedrooms were spacious enough and we heard no noise from the street, which was great (It wasn't necessarily a busy street, so we didn't really worry about it). The beds were comfy and there were extra blankets, which we didn't need because the beds had electric blankets that kept us warm throughout the night. The third bedroom we didn't need, but it would have been great for a family with children, as there was a single bed and crib. The shower in the upstairs bathroom is small but serviceable. The downstairs bath has a lovely old cast-iron tub/shower. The water heated quickly and there was plenty of it. The house is 150+ years old, so if you are looking for sleek and modern, this isn't it. But if you want to return to someplace comfortable, cozy, and that feels like home, this is the place! John left out plenty of maps, guides, and books about Ireland, which were greatly appreciated. Thoughtful touches like ponchos/raincoats/umbrellas were very much appreciated. Definitely recommend John's place while you are in Killarney!
