I would unreservedly recommend Ernie’s apartment in the West End of Galway. Ideally situated for the shops, bars, restaurants and nightlife, it is clean, modern, well- equipped, spacious and in a nice quiet spot, just away from all the craic.
But even more outstanding than the apartment is dear Ernie; King of the West End. Everyone knows and loves Ernie and Ernie knows and loves everyone, making his sound local advice and suggestions invaluable during your stay. With the warmth of a thousand Irish men, he left us the most amazing bread and preserves in the apartment (and milk for that much needed brew on arrival) and nothing was too much trouble, all we had to do was ask.
The apartment was fabulous and the customer service, second to none. Couple that with the great town that Galway is meant we had a great long weekend.
Oh, and Ernie, thank for the tip off about O’Connell’s bar in Eyre Square (where half of Ed Sheeran’s ‘Galway Girl’ is filmed, if you’re interested?). A friendly, funky, quirky bar with great staff and buckets of the black stuff; we spent a fantastic final afternoon there!
