If I were to rate my overall airbnb experience with specific stays on a scale of 10, Cyril and his accommodations would easily rank an 11!!

First, I appreciated his fast and cooperative replies regarding my arrival time (I kept changing it on him)

We arrived late, yet Cyril waited for us at his front door, and even made sure to block off a parking space for us near his front door. He then helped us lug several heavy cases to our rooms.

The rooms themselves were wonderful - large, comfortable, beautifully decorated and nicely furnished with pieces that fit perfectly with his 200 year old house.

We slept perfectly

The next morning, Cyril prepared a breakfast that any Michelin chef would be proud to claim. His breads and pastries were sourced from a local baker (not from a supermarket), his eggs bacon and sausages came from a local butcher (not from a freezer), and the coffee was made with freshly ground beans.

Many B&Bs provide a full Irish breakfast, but Cyril's version puts them all to shame.

After breakfast, Cyril took the time to give us a history of the town and the area, and to point out activities e thought might interest us.

All in all, we could not have been more pleased with our stay and our host.

If we're fortunate enough to e in Cork again, we will definitely try to get a room with Cyril.
