I would definitely recommend staying with Pauline when visiting Cork! My sister and I had a fantastic stay and were so sad that we had only booked ourselves in for one night.
The room is beautiful - big, bright, nicely decorated, and complete with a fireplace, a very comfortable bed, a sitting area, a porch overlooking Cork island, and a tea set. The house itself is a large Georgian house on Summerhill (a street running up a hill just north of the island) and is only about a 3-5 minute walk to the island. Pauline is in the process of renovating it, so don't be put off if the first floor doesn't seem like much - the second floor (where the airbnb suite is) is lovely!
Pauline was a great host. She greeted us with a big smile and offered us tea of coffee as we got settled. She was also keen to hear about our travels in Ireland so far and what more we had planned.
A cold breakfast of cereal, granola, berries and coffee/tea was provided.
Once Pauline gets the wifi up and running, this house will surely be one of the best airbnbs available in Cork!
