Eileen's place is a great base by which to visit Cork and the surrounding area. The city center of Cork is about 15 minutes away by foot, and the location feels (to me) very safe to walk about even at night. Eileen is an incredibly kind host, and she was immensely helpful. The room itself way very cozy, and i enjoyed my stay there. I can only recommend Eileen's place! Do note though that there are many stairs to climb to get to the room. Though I didn't mind this, maybe stairs could be an issue for others who have a harder time getting around.
