It was a treat to stay in this beautiful and modern addition during our stay in Galway. We loved the huge triple-pane windows and all the natural light flooding in. It's brand new, and the owners pointed out a couple of minor things that are still in need of finishing, but I would highly recommend staying here if it's available.
As for its location, we didn't mind the walk into Galway, so the mile or so distance into town was fine for us. Others might want a car or to keep a bus schedule handy. It was preferable for us to be somewhere quiet than in the middle of the city.
Finally, the hosts were very nice and made every effort to make our stay a good one. Thanks!
