Staying at Michael's place was a great decision for our group. Michael was an incredible host - very welcoming, responsive, and made sure that our stay was as comfortable as possible. A testament to this was how Michael went out of his way to post a shirt that we left behind at the apartment.
The house itself was immaculate and centrally located, with most things in Cork being within a 15 minute walk. The house was as advertised, and very helpfully, had private parking which might have otherwise presented a bit of a challenge.
Overall, I strongly recommend a stay at Michael's during a stay in Cork, and we would happily revisit, given the chance.
