We had a super stay in Galway! Joan was a great communicator and her place was a nice home base for us. It was within walking distance to everything we wanted to do in Galway! That said - Galway is a large (by Irish standards) and bustling city and this apartment is on a busy street. There was traffic noise which for us city dwellers wasn’t an issue by the 2nd night but be aware. Also the parking is about a two minute walk from the apartment. Joan was great at letting us know that we’d be smart to park first, find the apartment on foot and then go back for luggage so we didn’t have to cross a narrow busy street with a bunch of suitcases without knowing where we were heading. We enjoyed our stay and hope you do too!
