This place is a great "home away from home" in Galway. Located with other apartments within a private courtyard along the waterfront, it is within the city center and an easy walk from the train and bus stations. The apartment is two-story, with the first floor, which includes the kitchen and dining and living areas, at ground level. The kitchen is well-equipped. The second floor, reachable up a long, carpeted stairway, offers a bathroom and a sizeable bedroom that includes a comfortable bed with comforter and plenty of pillows; a large closet and bureau for storage, night tables and lamps. The apartment is stylishly decorated. We never met our host, but communication was prompt and arrangements perfect.
