Irene's apartment was our first accommodation in Ireland. After landing in Dublin, we decided to start exploring the country from Galway and this was the perfect place. Our family of 4 (including two teenagers) loved everything about the apartment. The location is unbelievable. It's right on the river so you can see and hear the water. You are footsteps away from the central hub, it's easy to get to but far enough from the loudness of the bars and the nightlife that spills onto the streets. The apartment is spacious, clean, modern and includes everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Most of all, Irene is an incredible host- responsive with suggestions to make your stay wonderful. She is kind, accommodating, has a book of detailed recommendations and was available to us for questions. She even followed-up with suggestions on where to stop on our way back to Dublin after we moved on from Galway. If Irene's place is available, don't hesitate to book it. You won't be disappointed.
