As other reviews have said: this is a GREAT location, but the space itself is low on amenities and quite loud. The apartment is just two blocks off of the main street of Galway's city center and only a short walk from the train/bus station. The space itself is sparse, and a little cold - figuratively in it's minimal furniture, but also literally as when we arrived all the heaters were turned off and the space itself was frigid.
I was prepared for the sparse amenities and noise based on other reviews, however, I was disappointed in the lack of responsiveness from the host. I had to send multiple requests and eventually turn on international cellular data to call the host to receive the check-in instructions the day of our stay. When I had questions regarding the heating and check-out, the response time was slow. This information was not listed in any kind of print out in the space, the only information being given on a small paper stating that things are "pretty straightforward".
