Mick was a really great host, very accommodating, helpful, and super responsive. We were welcomed with a basket of delicious bread and jam - so nice.
We stayed in Galway for 4 nights, and found the apartment to be located perfectly - close to lots of great pubs, restaurants, and shops. The neighbourhood felt really safe and we walked everywhere at all times of day or night.
The apartment itself was nice. It worked for the two of us perfectly, but it would be tight for more than that. Mick has thoughtfully stocked the apartment with towels, basic toiletries, and a variety of cooking staples for morning tea/coffee or cooking a light meal (e.g., olive oil, salt, pepper, etc.).
The weather wasn't super warm, so we weren't able to enjoy the deck, but it was really nice and would be a great place to have a drink.
One small hitch: we had water issues during our stay. It was not Mick's fault and he was quick to bring in a plumber, but we missed out on a couple days of hot showers.
Overall, a really nice experience at a great price point. Would recommend!
