A 3 bedroom family home and garden conveniently located in Cork City, recently voted the 3rd friendliest city in the world by Condé Nast Travel readers survey!
We live in a three bed room house in a quiet residential area within walking distance to city centre, train station, bus station and local amenities. It's only a 15 minute drive from Cork International Airport. Our home comprises of 3 double bed rooms, one of which is currently used as an office and gaming room. An inflatable double bed is available should it be required. Our eldest’s single room is a mid sleeper and therefore more suitable for a child of 5 years or older. We have bunk beds and a single bed in the boys room. As a family we tend to spend most our time in the kitchen/diner area which opens out onto our garden and patio where we eat during the Summer months. Our family bathroom is upstairs and an additional shower room is located off the utility room and downstairs bedroom/playroom.
Our garden and patio is south facing and benefits from the sun in the Summer and we have built a traditional wood burning sauna which we hope you enjoy as much we do.

They were incredibly kind and made us feel truly at home from the very first moment. Their children, of similar ages to ours, made enjoying the city even more rewarding, allowing us to experience the true spirit of a home exchange, see what life could be like in another country, and escape mass tourism. The house was exactly as shown in the listing, cozy, well-equipped, and in a lovely setting that allowed us to fully enjoy our stay.
Logement très agréable et bien placé.
We had a lovely time in cork . The families home was lovely and just as described. Good communication throughout the exchange. Would highly recommend.
The offer is very good. Everything was as expected. We recommend this location to others.
