If you want to be in the heart of the city this is the place to be. Everything is a few steps away. We stayed in Galway 5 days and didn't need to rent a car or take any taxis. The apartment is very clean and exactly as pictured. The host was always quick to respond and helped us with any questions we had. The apartment is also in a gated courtyard which is nice to have an extra bit of security. We will stay here again when we come back to Galway.
