There can't be a better place to stay in Galway nor a nicer host than Irene. The views are so stunning and it takes less than five minutes to be downtown where all the action is. The apartment is spacious and comfortable but not really cosy or luxurious. It feels a bit utilitarian and the bathroom is not on the same floor as the bedrooms which is annoying but not a deal breaker. The feeling of floating over the gorgeous river makes up for a few flaws. Just book it!
