boy oh boyd! what a fabulous host and a fabulous air bnb! boyd's charm rivals that of galway herself. the check in process was a breeze (be sure to follow the directions from boyd as opposed to google maps as it may take you to the actual docks). the airbnb felt extremely secure and it is located in a friendly gated community. inside, the furniture and floors glisten like the sea. boyd provides pillows, towels, games, and a few groceries to get you started. the shower upstairs was very warm. a bonus with this air bnb is that boyd runs a website notifying locals and tourists of upcoming events in galway so he's very informed and gives amazing recommendations no matter what you're looking for. thanks boyd!
