Fergus was very easy to communicate with and was flexible about meeting us for check-in. The apartment is new, clean and spacious. A very pleasant place for the four of us to relax in after walking around Galway. Easy walking distance to the centre of town, even for the older ladies among us. Lots of amenities, including a washer/dryer (warning for North American guests: a wash cycle in European machines takes 3 hours!)(and we never did figure out how to make it only dry, so we ended up with damp clothes, but that's entirely our own fault!)
It was great to have a parking spot at the apartment (and the underground parking lot had a lot more room than many parking garages we had to negotiate).
Can't think of anything negative to say. Galway is a great city, and Fergus's place is an ideal home base for exploring it.
