Staying at Karen's house was wonderful, the welcoming was very nice. It is a very attentive person with her guests and she always tries to help and make your stay as comfortable as possible. Highly recommended to enjoy Cork and surroundings.

Our stay in Karen's home was a wonderful experience. We stayed there for a month and just loved it. Karen and the rest of the family were very friendly and helpful. She made sure our stay was comfortable and fun at the same time. We made new friends there and if we ever get a chance, we'll definitely go back to Karen's :)
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
