Daniel was a friendly and responsive host for our stay. After we asked about parking nearby, he waited for and met us at the gate to the apartment to bring us up for the check-in. We were also told not to feel obliged to only stay in our room, and we were free to sit at the balcony or use the living room as if we were family, which is something we really appreciated. Daniel then kindly told us about the Christmas market happening in Galway and even personally walked us over to the entrance and quickly showed us around the city centre. His dog roams around the house but won't bother you. The apartment does have the "dog odor" that is expected with a dog around, so those who mind should be aware of this. Also don't expect the apartment or room to be spotless.
