Ursula and her partner were very nice, friendly people. We communicated well and had a good laugh. However, my friend and I weren’t quite satisfied with the cleaning standards. There were stains on the bedsheets, and the towels provided had a quite bad smell, as if they were overly used or haven’t been dried properly. The room was part of a family flat, so it was quite noisy in the morning, and we also found other residents using our private bathroom. There was a hot water issue that would come and go, and shower drains that wouldn’t dry properly, but the hosts tried to compensate by driving us to Cork once, and by offering us their own private shower. The area was nice and very neighbourhood-like, but there wasn’t much to do really, unless you’re planning on spending your time in Cork. There’s frequent bus service, and the stop is just within 10 minutes walk from the flat.
