The location of Lisa's condo was fantastic! It took us a little time to find it but once we did, we were so pleased. She provided directions but they were still a bit tricky to follow- so be patient when you are making your way.
Once you get there, you will realize that you are in a unique little neighborhood of Galway called Salthill that feels less touristy than the main tourist area. The Salthill shops and pubs are within 5 minutes walk and the beach is nearby too.
The best part of the location was that although you were in your own cool part of Galway, you were still just a short walk from the main tourist attractions. You could get to the busy pedestrian street full of bars and music in about 10 minutes and the the main square in about 15.
Couldn't be happier with this locale!
