Michael is an excellent host. I booked his place for my daughter and three of her fellow students. They are on a study abroad program in Europe and were traveling through Ireland and the UK. I originally booked the wrong dates and Michael was able to accommodate us with the correct dates. He is pleasure to deal with and very responsive. They were extremely appreciative when Michael let them check in early! They said the apartment is as described-- big enough for all 4 of them, bright, safe and walkable to everything they needed. They were able to explore Cork on foot, sample great restaurants, pubs and shopping. They also were able to take a day trip to Cobh by train. Thank you Michael!
