I chose Kathryn's place because it was near the Salthill Hotel where I was doing a course.
The house was lovely, on a quiet suburban street, and the room was clean and comfortable with a great en suite.
Kathryn is a great host - friendly, full of local knowledge and she cooks a mean scrambled egg!
If you're going to Galway and don't want to be in the thick of things I would highly recommend Kathryn's place.
