I would highly recommend you stop reading this review and simply book the property before it is reserved by someone else! This trip was our first experience with Airbnb and we stayed at five different properties. Michelle and Martin's home was by far the best. There was something almost magical about the experience. From their communication leading up to our 3-night stay through our breakfast with them on our final day, it felt like we were staying with good friends who were truly excited about our visit. They sincerely seemed invested in making sure our trip to Galway went perfectly and it did. So sure, the house was perfectly clean and the room was exceptionally well equipped (they even have USB charging ports near the bed!), but that is not what sets Michelle and Martin apart. They are kind and funny, charismatic and knowledgeable. Our breakfast with them on the final day was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Both my wife and I felt as though they represented the very best of Ireland and we felt fortunate to have been welcomed into their world. We will without question stay with them the next time we visit and will recommend them to friends, family and you without hesitation. If you are only interested in the room and not the interactions (a mistake), it far exceeds the profile. The bathroom is huge, the room is spacious and the beds are comfy. In fact with only a couple added amenities (towel hooks and table space in the bathroom) I would classify this as a full luxury property. While it is not in downtown Galway, the bus stop is mere minutes away and will take you right to Eyre Square for under 3 euros per person so a car isn't really necessary. If you want to get away from the tourist hotels and experience true Ireland, you will not find a better host. Thank you to both of them for helping to make our trip spectacular!
