Pauline’s place is a very stylish Georgian house on a hill overlooking the city. The room is large and on the first floor. It comes with an en suite (including awesome bath). The bed is very comfortable, and you will sleep in the finest Irish linen. There is no lock to your apartment area, but we felt very safe. There is no breakfast included, but you are very close to lots of nice places to eat.
Pauline is a good host and responds very quickly, she is great fun and will give you lots of good tips. The house is a short walk to the centre of cork (10 mins) and right near the railway station. Parking is tricky outside her house (2hr maximum stay), but there is long term parking nearby at the train station.
All in all a great place to stay.
