Nora's place was amazing. It was clean and nicely decorated. Felt like a home away from home. It was only a 15 min walk from Quay street, which has great shopping and a popular night life. It was about 25 min from the coach station, which made it easy to catch daily tours or a bus ride to another city. Nora was a wonderful host. She was very understanding of our time delays and greeted us warmly. She also left us homemeade bread, bananas, and eggs. I truly would recommend staying in Nora's apartment during your visit to Galway
