The apartment is exactly like the pictures. The location is perfect as it is close to everything, there is no need to drive once you are here. It is about a five to ten minute walk to the grocery store and TI (depending on how many times you stop to browse in a store or stop to take pictures). The split levels worked out well for us as my mother has difficulties with stairs so she was able to have a room on the ground floor (of course she had to come upstairs to the living room/kitchen, but it was helpful nevertheless). Having the washer/dryer and two bathrooms were a god sent as we were traveling with my two teenagers. Water pressure is good, the water is hot, and there are ample towels. The beds are comfortable, the place is clean and the overall feel of the apartment is inviting.
Ger (Michael's coworker) met us and was super helpful. We felt terribly texting her late at night but couldn't figure out how to lock the doors. Despite the late hour she called us back immediately. (Hint: you have to hold the handle upward while locking them with the key. This is true for the main door and the ones in the living room.) Onsite parking is a blessing as the streets are lined with cars day and night, and parking seemed to be a true nightmare for everyone else. (Be sure to ask about it after you book so that you don't circle around looking for a spot, or park illegally along the street.)
We would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone planning to stay in Kinsale.
