Our stay at John's home was lovely. While it's at easy walking distance from the city centre, there's a handy and frequent bus too, and there's parking available, AND it was quiet enough that birdsong woke us in the morning! John is really warm (as is Sam, his dog) and great to chat to; he replied quickly to any messages and had loads of tips and info about what to do and where to eat in the city; and what's more, he very kindly gave us a lift to where we were headed the first evening. The house itself is stylish and extremely comfortable. There was a great range of stuff for breakfast, the shower was a delight, and we slept very well. John has also provided lots of useful information on Cork city and environs to suit all interests, and the room has a tv equipped with Netflix, which was just the ticket to wind down when we'd exhausted ourselves exploring. We would absolutely stay there again. Thanks, John!
