We had a great experience with our exchange in Cork. We had some interactions with the family while we were preparing our vacation, all were very helpful and positive. The house is exactly as in the photos and the description on the INTERVAC website. It's spacious and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities to spend a few good days on vacation. A well-equipped kitchen, 3 complete bathrooms and a toilet made our staying in the house very easy. As well as a large garden to enjoy the nice climate of the area, with a sauna which we didn't use. Located in a very quiet area, the center of Cork is within walking distance. It’s easy to park near the house, paying with App Cork Park. From Cork, hiring a car we’re able to visit nice places and discover the Ireland impressive nature, like Old Head, Mizzen Head, Cobh and The Spike Island… A nice house to consider if you want to explore Cork and outskirts.
