Deirdre's place was charming. Not so easy to get into, but once you figure things out it was great. The apartment is very comfortable and clean and the underground parking makes life so much easier when you're driving. Make sure you get all the details about access to the building ahead of time. From the gate to get into the courtyard, the building access code and read Deirdre's info on how to open the front door. It's very simple once you read things. I would also try to get the parking access code up front so that you can park and then get in to the apartment. The views are not quite as you would expect but you can see the harbour if you stand out on the balcony and look down the road. Loved our stay in Galway and the location of Deirdre's apartment is fabulous for seeing everything that Galway has to offer. The washer and dryer are challenging for us North American guests but compared to all the other places we stayed in throughout Ireland and Scotland on this trip it worked the best.
