The stay at Marie's was fantastic. Not only does she have a beautiful house that is so homely and cosy, but she made us feel so welcome despite our short stay. Her house is situated in a very centralized location - not too near to the town centre, but near enough that you could walk there. The reviews I had read before choosing to stay with Marie were really accurate, and for anyone who has apprehensions with trying out Airbnb, go for it. This was my first time as well, and honestly, we could not have picked a better host. Marie picked me and my boyfriend up from the train station when we arrived, and whenever she was free, she gave us a lift nearby as well. She gave us amazing information about tours that we could do, and even went the extra mile to help us check out the bus timings etc. She really has a truly lovely house, and I really really enjoyed the late night conversations over tea and rice cakes :) This homestay is not like one of those impersonal ones, but rather Marie really makes you feel like part of the family. This accommodation is truly worth 5 stars and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to experience Galway. Will definitely be choosing Marie the next time I visit. :)
