Mick's place was perfectly located in Galway. It was far enough from the town center for us to feel removed from the bustle, but close enough to walk there within 15 minutes (even in the cold!). The apartment was perfect for two people, and the stairs up to the apartment, and then up to the bed were not a hassle at all. We did not get a chance to meet Mick, but he was very responsive whenever I would get in touch with him. My only regret is not spending more time in Galway and at Mick's place! We highly recommend it!
