The house is beautiful and imaculate, located in a quiet neighborhood. The bay is a 5 minute walk away and there is also an olympic size pool there where you can swim for 9 euros a day. The stop for the downtown Galway 401 bus is right at the end of the block. I would definitely reccomend this stay for anyone looking for a peaceful location near the bay which is also very convient for downtown Galway. Kathyn is a charming and welcoming hostess
