First, if you have never been to Galway, go! It is not only beautiful, there is also a lot going on culturally. About this apartment: We spent 3 weeks here while I was in Galway on business. It is in a great location, a 5-10 minute walk away from lots to see and do. This includes countless pubs and restaurants (the food scene is surprisingly good given Galway's size), the Spanish arch, Eyre square, the Salthill prom, the cathedral, the university, several grocery stores, and lots more. Although it is centrally located, the apartment itself is very quiet, with a nice view of Galway Bay. The apartment is clean and comfortable. Dee is a warm, thoughtful, and responsive host. Highly recommended.
