It was a lovely space which had character and was in a very central position. A neighbour of the property told us it dated from the 1700s - a nice touch would be to have any known history of the building and the immediate area, recorded in the property, perhaps in a frame? The accommodation was very comfortable and the four of us enjoyed our time there. It was easy to walk into the centre of Cork and there was a great pub near by which we went to a couple of times. It also had a pizza kitchen attached. That, and the convenience store located nearby, were very useful when we arrived late at night tired and hungry! We would also recommend eating at Market Lane Restaurant and Bar at 5-6 Oliver Plunkett Street. The food is delicious and the service very friendly and good. We enjoyed it so much we went twice! We would recommend booking in advance though as it’s very busy. We would certainly come back and stay again as we enjoyed Cork and Cobh so much.

The accommodation was very musty on arrival and it was clear that there was damp present. Once windows had been opened and the heating switched on, it did improve, although the mustiness did linger for the period of our stay. We made full use of the small air conditioning units provided which also helped. However, there was black mould around the entrance door, on the back of the bathroom door and on the bathroom ceiling. The grouting of the shower cubicle had a buildup of black mould. Also areas behind doors, beds, under the bathroom sink etc., had a buildup up of dust and dirt. We felt that this should have been noticed and rectified by whomever cleans the property. The outside light also didn’t work, so it was slightly difficult to read the numbers on the keybox to open it. Luckily we had the torches on our phones that we could use though! There was also a cupboard with lots of out of date leaflets and other bits and pieces, which really just needed to be thrown away. It didn’t bother us, but there was no TV present, which we would’ve expected to be standard in accommodation of this type. We appreciate that it must be extremely difficult to try and eliminate mould and mustiness from such an old building, but if any of us had any lung complaints we were not sure we would’ve been able to stay. The property could do with a working extraction fan in the bathroom and perhaps in the front area too, along with coir matting to trap dirt and wet. Unfortunately the small domestic mat provided wasn’t enough.

Nicely located , nice interiors ,

Nothing as such

The apartment was in a very good spot to walk into the city. It had everything you need and was beautiful furnished. The owner answered very quickly if any questions occurred.

It can get a little bit moist in the house and therefore there is a little smell but it can't be changed due to weather and it is an old building. You only have to keep that in mind if you don't like that. For us it wasn't a big deal and we loved that charming interior.

The location was good, the place was fine for two couples to stay in.

the kitchen was terribly underequipped and I see there have been lots of comments about this before, so it seems the hosts really don't care about comments. there was no small sharp knife - try peeling onions with a blunt serrated breadknife.... We literally had to go and buy one. only 4 of everything, e.g. cutlery, so constantly had to wash up as there were 4 of us, and so if you used a fork or a plate in doing the cooking, you were then short for dinner there were - just about - 4 wine glasses but all different there was no implement to stir anything no salad servers and only one rather dubious looking plastic bowl you could use for salad there was no tea towel there were no oven gloves windows were really difficult to open light switch in living room - dimming was missing the proper button to twist blinds didn't work properly I couldn't get the heating to work from instructions given - even though this was June, it was quite chilly in the morning and the flat quite damp, so was trying to warm up/dry out a bit bathroom bin pedal for lid was rusted off no toilet roll holder so whilst the flat itself is handily laid out and the location is good, it seems the hosts don't care enough to fix these things that really aren't difficult or expensive to fix - some tea towels, a few wooden spoons, some cutlery, some more pans? less than 50 Euros
