Hi all,
My daughter and I would like to offer our apartment in the suburbs of the buzzing Cork city, Ireland. We’re new to this but very excited to share our home when we’re away. It’s a warm, bright and cozy place to relax but also close to parks, beaches, forests, shops, cafes and the buzzing city centre too. A scenic drive brings you to the natural beauty of West Cork and Killarney National Park too. It’s ideal for anyone who would like to visit the Southern region of Ireland.
The Space
Our guests will be able to use the whole apartment: 2 bedrooms, living room and kitchen, bathroom. It’s also child friendly and safe as my daughter is only 4 herself.
It can accommodate 5 people comfortably (1 double bed, 1 double sofa bed, 1 single sofa bed), and there is a toddler bed suitable for a small child.
The living room, kitchen and a dining area are in one space: corner sofa, sofa, tv, extendable dining table with 4-6 chairs (and a child high chair if needed), washing machine, microwave, coffee maker, gas hub, oven, air fryer, kettle, toaster and fridge are available.
In the bathroom there is a bath with shower, toilet and a wash basin.
Guest Access
Our home is on the second floor and unfortunately there is no elevator.
The double bed is a mid sleeper, there are 2 steps to get into it, so our home is not easy to use for people with mobility issues.
