Very comfortable and peaceful home where you can relax and enjoy the most peaceful time
The check in process was easy (felt too easy). There were clean dishes in the dishwasher from somebody else, but otherwise the house was fairly clean and as pictured.
This home in a residential neighborhood on a hill above Cobh was exactly what we were looking for: quiet, private, lots of space, a decent sized kitchen including washer/dryer unit, three bedrooms (one of them tiny), parking, a full kitchen table, living room and an outdoor seating area. As someone else remarked, a bit of paint, some fairy lights, a table umbrella and some plantings would world of difference to the outdoor area. Happy to report the stove is now brand new and works great - we made a full meal with ingredients from the English Market and we had lefovers. Communication with Shakeel was excellent.
Communication was great up until the time to check in. Left the house unlocked with a key on the table and no ability to lock the door from the outside when we ventured out. Questions were not answered when emailed. Luckily it felt like a safe neighborhood so it did not deter us from taking in the sites. House was in good shape but have realized the back sitting areas are not kept up. Would recommend if communication was stronger.
We cannot recommend this property. The back yard and patio were unusable and in dangerous condition. Very unkept with weeds growing throughout. There was even a axe left laying in the grass. The unit itself did not feel clean. There was absolutely zero water pressure in the showers. One of the refrigerators in the kitchen was not functioning and had a horrendous smell. We questioned whether the bed linens were clean. Very disappointed in our stay, unfortunately.
There were several small problems from the outset. Oner said key would be on kitchen table but it wasn't. Owner seemed to not believe me and had to see for himself. Place was not especially clean and oven was older than owner, dirty, and didn't work for me. Washing machine was new and worked well. Needs new oven and upgraded patio area before it will be worth what owner is charging.
Slimey floors sh*tty door locks no glasses dirty glasses
We arrived in Cobh and dropped of my younger son daughter and wife downtown. My older son and I drove to the property and as we were bringing suitcases (3) in the house, someone came to the house and started questioning us about the number of people staying. (Clearly we were being watched on surveillance from video camera inside the from living room). They arrived at the property before we could make two trips to the house. We told him Five people were staying as we had told all the prior locations on this family trip to Ireland. He said they were only two on the app and demanded cash and stated we would have to leave the residence if we did not pay extra cash. Unfortunately we were stuck. Listing said there were 3 bedrooms and that the property slept 6. The Quarters were very cramped living room dark dungy. Kitchen floor slimey and greasy. NO HOT WATER FOR SHOWERS. Extremely inappropriate rude not a good greeting to say the least . Next-door neighbor had a small dog barked all night disrupting sleep. This 12 day trip had been absolutely stellar except for this experience. It is very obvious that the person running this property is not an Irish person. MAKE SURE YOU STAY WITH NATIVE IRISH WHEN TRAVELING HERE AS THEY ARE INCREDIBLY WELCOMING. Extremely disappointed in our stay is a massive understatement will be trying to get money back from the app.. DO NOT STAY HERE THIS PROPERTY IS NOT WORTH HALF THE RATE THEY CHARGE
