If you want to have your cake and eat it, too...then this is the place for you! Galway can be kind of hectic in July, and this place puts you close enough to the action of Eyre Square (5 min walk), while also serving as a peaceful refuge when the tourist crowds get overwhelming. Located on the River Corrib, it's scenic without being boring. People walk along the river and lovebirds sit and watch the sunset. It's also just steps from the Spanish Arch and an excellent restaurant called Ard Bia (go there for breakfast!). The apt looks just like the photos and has all you need (especially in the kitchen); it's clean and spacious enough for 2. Annamarie is a great host, and welcomed us with a bottle of wine and some cheese (she also picked us up at the bus station, and dropped us off!). If we go back to Galway, we are definitely staying here.
