Pauline welcomed us into her home with a tour and some spot-on recommendations for places to eat and things to do. The room and private bathroom were even more beautiful in person. Although the room could get a bit chilly, the fireplace and the big bed kept us, and sometimes one of her cats, cozy at night and we had lots of space. The room also had a lovely balcony, and there was a second balcony at the top of the house which gave a beautiful view of Cork. It was the perfect haven to come back to after a long day of sightseeing. The location was really convenient, as it was a 5 minute walk from the city centre, a few minutes to the train or the bus station, and right down the street from a lot of great restaurants and cozy little tea and coffee shops! Pauline herself was very friendly and laid-back with us and was lovely to talk to =) If we ever come back to Cork, we would definitely stay here again.
