We stayed at Mick's apartment for three nights. He communicated very well prior to our arrival and even allowed us to drop our bags off before our scheduled check-in time. The apartment is exactly as pictured. It isn't a big space, but it really does have everything two people will need for a stay. The apartment is located in a residential area, so you are out of the hustle and bustle of Galway's major areas. It was really nice to escape the noise and commotion after a long day of traveling and exploring Galway. We walked from New Coach Station (close to Eyre Square and downtown Galway) to Mick's apartment in about 25 minutes. This was with our bags and once we dropped those off, the walk wasn't bad at all. You really aren't far from the square, the water, or the bus station.
Mick was really helpful with getting us settled and acquainted with our home away from home. He provided a ton of information about things to do in Galway and he left a binder with instructions and additional suggestions for exploring Galway. He was super friendly and gave us a map of all the places we should consider during our stay in Galway. We messaged him during one of our nights and he came right over to ensure that everything was okay. We only wanted to discuss his pub suggestions, but it was nice to know that he would have been there had something more serious been needed. Thanks for your hospitality, Mick! We LOVED Galway. The people are so friendly and the town is very enjoyable. We would suggest this apartment to two people looking to see all that Galway has to offer.
