Dan's got the biggest heart of gold of anyone on the planet. I can't begin to thank him enough for his unbelievable hospitality. He offered me car rides that were out of his way, risked his life (seriously, not exaggerating) dodging cars with me as we hiked/ran in the countryside to the site of an accident to say goodbye to my loved one, made me dinner, had food available for breakfast, connected me with other amazing people who are also working to make that stretch of road safer, introduced me to a delightful friend of his who put in a radio request for me, etc.... As if all of that wasn't enough, the house was very welcoming as well (he has lots of great music) and the bed was very comfortable. I walked to the city center from his place with absolutely no problems both day and night. It's only about a 15 minute walk there. If you want to enjoy your stay in Cork, I can't recommend Dan's place enough.
