Marie Louise lives on the bottom floor of the home. The rooms are upstairs with a master with its own bathroom and two other rooms on the first floor (2nd floor for those from the US) and another room on the third floor with another bathroom in the hall stairway. Marie Louise made us breakfast both mornings we stayed and was very friendly to us and our three kids (ages 8, 10 and 12). She gave us several restaurant recommendations in Galway. I was a little hesitant about staying in a place that was not completely private but we had our own space and it worked out great. Having someone local to talk to added to the experience. It is very much like a bed and breakfast set up. I would recommend staying here to friends.
