Ard Bia is the place to stay in Galway! Aiobheann is such a lovely woman and made us feel like we were part of the family. Her home couldn't have a better location, and it's so beautifully decorated/designed, it's very aesthetically inspiring. The room is open and bright and has a small kitchen area. We got take out most nights but enjoyed tea and coffee in the mornings. The best thing about Ard Bia is that Aiobheann also owns a restaurant down on the water called Ard Bia. It was the BEST food we had our whole trip to Ireland and we ate there 3 times in two days. I loved all of our time in Galway, and much of that was due to staying in such a special and stylish place. I'd go back in a second.
