Friends in Ireland have mentioned that Cork is a popular destination, making real estate and flat rentals expensive, which I think reflects why smaller places rent out for pricier than elsewhere. That said, while this flat is small, it is perfect for one person who needs a centrally located rental - within walking distance to bus and train stations, city center, and UCC campus. In this way, I felt the listing was accurate and fairly priced. A few extra amenities would have been helpful, but this doesn’t deter from the overall functionality of the space (e.g. maybe an extra waste bin in the bathroom, a few extra dish clothes to clean counter and dishes). For the location alone, I’d recommend the listing, but primarily for solo travellers.
