This place is in the absolute perfect location! You are close to all the best spots in Galway. The Latin quarter and Quay st are literally around the corner! The area can get a bit noisy at night but Lorraine has some sound proofing on the windows that add an extra layer so you can close them to make it much quieter. The tea room downstairs 'Cupan Tae' is a wonderful spot to go for breakfast and the staff are lovely. Plus all the tea makes the stairwell to the apt smell amazing. If you have any trouble with stairs you probably don't want to stay here though as the staircase is quite narrow and up to flights to the apt. and if you have large heavy bags this could be difficult.
The space itself it excellent and beautifully decorated. It feels like your own little upscale condo in the middle of an ancient city. You can see the river corrib from your windows and the spanish arch and long walk are also only minutes walk away.
The only issue we really had was from the apartment upstairs. There didn't seem to be much sound proofing between the floors so when someone was walking around above us it was very loud. We may have just been unlucky with some extremely loud lodgers above us but it was disturbing a couple of evenings.
Overall this was a wonderful place to stay in Galway and the cost for the location and space was excellent and well worth it. We're calling it our Galway home from now and will hopefully be able to stay again in the future when we find ourselves in Ireland again!
