Edith's house is very close to the centre of Galway, and she was on hand to give us specific directions when required. Edith left us to our own devices for most of the stay and only returned to the house late on our last night to take German lessons the following morning (as it happened the lessons were cancelled and Edith kindly offered to let us stay and have breakfast with her/leave our bags to collect later on). At a total of £123 for 2 nights this worked out cheaper than any of the hotels in the centre of the city and I would bear Edith in mind for future stays.
