My wife and I stayed at Greg and Michele's place for three nights. Our desire was to find a location that would provide easy access (we had a car) to the city as well as surrounding activities such as Cobh, Midleton's, Kinsale, etc. Greg' s place turned out to be perfectly situated for all of these destinations with multiple access routes.
We also hoped to find an experience where the hosts were easy to connect with, willing to be personable and enjoyable to spend time with. We couldn't be happier with our time spent with Greg and Michele!
We needed to arrive late due to a dinner commitment. We communicated with Greg and found him to be very understanding and accommodating, and upon our arrival we were welcomed and settled with warmth.
Some particulars...
There are at least two room setups for travelers. Ours was a spacious room with a separate but private bathroom (as described), which was large, fully stocked and modern. There is a second room with an ensuite that was not available at the time of our booking. We found we had plenty of privacy and were quite satisfied with the setup.
Breakfast was a combination of cereals, fruit, yoghurt, tea/coffee followed by eggs and sausage if desired. We were definitely filled and ready for our day!
There was plenty of parking available on site with easy access to all major (and minor) roadways.
The first night we ate in the city and then the next two nights we wanted something closer to "home". Our hosts recommended the Brook Inn, which is a 5 minute walk from the house. This place is local and busy so a booking is recommended, although we did drop in the last night without a reservation and they accommodated us. The menu had options for all tastes and the food and service were great.
Checkout on our last day was smooth.
Lastly, for us connection with our hosts is what makes a good experience great and our experience with Greg, Michele and John (a friend of our hosts) was truly great. They are all warm, welcoming, open and insightful, willing to engage in conversation and provide perspectives. These are the types of folks who make a stay wonderful and we highly recommend their Airbnb!
