cork
officially in central cork, my home for the next couple of days.
the place I found via airbnb is great, 10 min walk from city center, near one of the rivers
the terraces were built in the late 1800's
three floors with 12 ft. ceilings, making me feel extra short.
the owners had a battle with termites when they bought the place and spent 8000 euro redoing their floors.
he said it's one thing to spend that kind of money on something for your home when it is a thing you can show your guests when they come over, it's a completely different thing when you can't show them where all the money went.
oh and they have basil plants all over their bathroom which I think is a nice touch.
