Phil's place was above all a great location: a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the Galway nightlife. We got in in the late evening and didn't meet Phil until we were ready to leave. She was very hands off with leaving the keys out for us and didn't seem to expect more details from us. Breakfast was set out at a shared dining table for all visitors when we got up (mostly breads), which was a nice bonus. One word of warning: the walls are fairly thin. Some other travelers were out late and we could hear them talking loudly and the bathroom going (shared bath for 4 rooms) at 1:30am when they came back.
