I stayed in John's just as the Covid restrictions were beginning to lift in Ireland. I was only scheduled to do two short days of work outside Cork city, so I searched for a place outside the city that was somewhat cheap and of good standards. My search led me to John's place. I booked my two nights, his price was considerably cheap especially compared to city centre locations. John was a great host from the beginning. He texted me to make sure I'd be coming at that appointed time. When I arrived he opened the front door for me and met me with a very warm friendly welcome that you wouldn't find anywhere else in the world. He showed me to room, showed me the bathroom, tv room and dining area where breakfast can be enjoyed. For breakfast there is a serving of fruit (apples), cereal, bread, scones, tea, coffee etc. You can help yourself as you please. As Covid still hadn't vanished there was a little fresh bottle of hand sanatizer on the table near the front door. Everything in the house and in my room was super clean. The room was grand, it was homely and had a double bed. In the end I only needed to stay one day instead of two, and without even asking for a refund I was handed some cash by a lovely lady that lives there with John. I thought this was a remarkably honest effort and a very nice touch. I was given a friendly goodbye and I went on my way. You wouldn't get customer service like this anywhere else on Airbnb! Another little note about John's place: it is in a fairly rural place, so it would take 20 mins or so to get to the city by car/taxi, so if you're going to the city for drinks at night it will cost a few bob to get home. However the area is lovely and quiet and peaceful and tranquil. There's a real Irish pub right beside it, and you can see the River Lee from a beautiful perspective nearby.
