I loved that cottage! Fantastic and characteristic, a very old Irish experience.
It's located at a walking distance from everything (pubs, clubs, city center, docks...). I was in Galway for a Congress at the University and I have spent not more than 15 minutes to reach it walking...
The best choice!
Unfortunately I have not met the host, but she left everything that I needed in a bar just around the corner and she was very kind and ready to help in every moment.
Thank you Roisin, I'm surely come back to The cottage in my next Ireland trip!
