Kathryn, despite being quite busy, was very welcoming and made sure we had all we needed. My boyfriend's stomach was upset and she gave him a hot water pillow and tea to calm it down. She also made special white scones with butter just because I told her liked scones the day before (she had only planned to make brown ones). She gave us great tips on where to eat in Galway as well. Her house is just lovely and quite close to the city (having a car was nice, though I don't think necessary with public transport). All in all a great stay.
