Not to sound cliche, but LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Ann's place is right in the heart of the town, within easy walking distance of everything. Situated right on the canal, it is a place passersby would take photos of due to the huge fuchsia bush right out the front. It was so pleasant to wake up in the morning and walk 2 minutes into town for a coffee. Due to the amazing location, there is a fair bit of noise at night, but it is definitely worth it. The house itself seems to be in the midst of having some superficial work done, but was perfectly outfitted for our needs. We did lament the lack of comfortable seating in the living area, but the beds were great and 2 bathrooms is always a plus when staying as a group of 4. Overall, I would highly recommend Ann's place if you are looking for a convenient and charming spot in Galway.
