Sam's house is perfect for a stay in Galway! It is a 15 min bus ride from the city centre or a 30 min walk. I walked to the city centre a couple of times and it is a beautiful stroll. Either way, the location is perfect. Sam and his family are extremely nice people! They made sure we felt at home and were more than open to giving us tips about the city. Even the dog was super nice and sweet to us! I can definitely recommend this place to anyone who wishes to spend some time in Galway. 10/10
