Ernie’s place was spacious and modern. It is in West Galway and there are many restaurants and pubs close by and Galway itself is just a short walk over the bridge. We parked for 5 Euros a day at a nearby church which was a 5 -7 minute walk away.
Ernie and his son were superb hosts. Ernie is truly one of those people who has a grand joie de vivre. They made several excellent suggestions on local activities. The Airbnb is above Ernie’s store where he sells fresh fruit, vegetables, teas, wine, chocolates etc. and I believe that everyone in West Galway knows Ernie. Staying at Ernie’s place was truly a wonderful and quintessential Irish experience.
