Staying at Gem's was pleasant all the way through. The host is incredibly organized, communicative, thoughtful and friendly. We felt welcome immediately. We were recommended many things to do and even great advice on travel to and from activities.
The room and house are VERY comfortable and well-kept, you can expect everything to be kept to a hotel level of cleanliness. The sound level is very low in this location and in the house.
The location is perfect, a very easy straightforward busride directly into Cork city allows for dining options and plenty of sight seeing. A short drive to the highways allows access to the countryside of Ireland very rapidly.
All in all, the map on the wall in the Kitchen says it- Gem is an experienced and well-liked host and anyone staying here will have a great, pleasant stay.
