Paul and Susan are incredible hosts. Their communication is very responsive and quick. They are incredibly kind and accommodating, checking in every now and then to see if I need anything (I stayed for a month). Incredibly generous. the place is super cute and accommodates guests well. everything I needed for the entire month was provided or easily accessible with a quick and beautiful stroll down to the Joyce's grocery store. Athenry itself is cute, fun, and the people here are hospitable and friendly. I suggest Fields Bar for some local banter and beverages and on some nights traditional live music. the accessibility to the train is also perfect for navigating to and from Galway, or even needing to head to Dublin for a day or two. I am very pleased with my stay and will be back to visit Athenry as well as stay with incredible hosts like Paul and Susan again.
