Bernard was a most attentive and welcoming host, providing us with so much information both before and during our stay. The accommodation itself was also delightful and so well equipped. It was absolutely perfect for our week-long stay in Killarney and super easy distance to get into the town, to the INEC arena, and also to plenty of other local attractions. We loved how comfortable the place was and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!

Outstanding property. The accommodations and the host could not have been better. It was very clean, comfortable decor, the bed was comfy, kitchen was well stocked, and parking is right outside the door. Bernard provided lots of suggestions of places to go and things to do. Sheila gave us an overview of the property. She was charming and very helpful. Food and fuel closeby. Perfect location to head out from and explore the area. Close enough to walk into town. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay!

The residence was well equipped and spotlessly clean on arrival. Lovely comfortable beds with blackout blindscurtains. Quiet location. Parking on street was easysome "trimming" of the leylandi would allow driveway parking- we didn't want to chance scratching the hire car .Town centre readily walkable and excellent recommendations from host Bernard

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Bernard's property. Bernard was so communicative and available for questions through Whatsapp, and provided us with numerous tips for making the most of our time in Ireland. The flat itself was an easy 15 minutes or so walk from the main shops in Killarney, so we were close enough to walk to town without the loudness that comes with it. There was also an Aldi and pharmacy a quick skip away. Street parking was easy right out front. The unit was well stocked too and Bernard provided video descriptions for everything. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone!

Great stay.

This property was clean, well-equipped, and convenient to the central business district, while still offering peaceful surroundings. The owner, Bernard, was extremely helpful, responsive, and communicative, offering us great suggestions for activities and restaurants in the area. We were met at the property upon our arrival, and provided with a helpful briefing. Only one bathroom, but we knew that going in and it worked just fine for our small group of four. Great value for very nice accommodations.

Superb Killarney base

The property was exactly as seen/explained. Great location for spending a few days exploring the area. Bernard was an excellent host providing advice and information about Killarney and places to visit, routes to take etc that we found very useful. The weather was not excellent for our stay so the additional advice re walks, things to do was useful. The property was clean, comfortable and well maintained providing all the essentials needed. Unfortunately we never met Bernard in person but the advice given was always prompt and comprehensive. We would certainly recommend using this property when visiting the area

We had to change our plans due to a severe storm. Our booked property had no power, and we were made aware of the situation with 24 hour notice. We were able to secure this property thanks to Bernard. He was very helpful and responsive to our needs. Highly recommend this property for small groups visiting Killarney and surrounding areas! Walking distance to downtown and Killarney National Park!

One of the best rental home experiences we have had. Bernard, the host communicated with us before, during and after our stay. He provided a lot of helpful information for things to do and places to eat in and around the Killarney area. He even provided a detail list for breakfast, lunch, dinner and also pubs. He provided detailed information for accessing the apartment including videos of how to access the keys from the lock box, using the tv, etc. We just wish the apartment was a little closer to downtown Killarney. Though this is no fault of the owner. The listing is accurate about the location. Bedrooms and bathroom are located up a flight of stairs from the main living area. Just keep that in mind if you have mobility issues with heavy luggage.

We had a lovely three night stay. The house is cosy, with comfy beds and bedding and all the amenities you need. We loved being able to cook our own meals and complete a load of laundry for the second half of our trip. There are many excellent dining options in town which you can either drive or walk to. Bernard was a top notch host. He was extremely communicative. Met us there and showed us the house. He also gave us many excellent recommendations for the area. Thank you Bernard for our home away from home experience.

Ready to come again and invite our friends!

First and foremost Bernard is the PERFECT and ATTENTIVE host!!! It's no wonder why he gets 5 stars every time. Quick to respond and FULL OF RECOMMENDATIONS! Because we were from the US, and it was after 9pm, there weren't any options for places to eat. However, he gave us suggestions all the way until we safely made it to the house. We were able to pick up some take and bake meals from a nearby grocery store and then he walked us through how to use the oven there. (MUCH different than the one in the states!) He gave us the perfect pub to attend for live, traditional Irish music! The house is adorable and equipped with everything you need to have an enjoyable stay. The surrounding neighborhood is safe and his neighbor eagerly helped up open the door. Bernard sent videos for several of the items you might need at the home. I recommend getting the What's App if you are from the US and need to make contact outside of emails. It is odd that none of the bathrooms in Ireland appear to have outlets for dryers or curling irons and the beds do not have top sheets, just a fitted sheet and blanket. My only suggestions for our host would be metal vs plastic spatulas, stainless steel pans vs teflon pans, and a pour over vs coffee press. Otherwise, this was a PERFECT location. I wish we could have spent a WEEK here! OH! One last thing...guests should know that the bedrooms are on the second floor (in case you have heavy bags)! Definitely not a dealbreaker but a fact you may want
