As others have said the location is great and Galway is a great place to wander around in. The flat itself we found a bit of a disappointment, given Malcolm's stated aim of being a super host. There was a missing bedside light in one bedroom, a broken towel rail, and only one chair in the flat - we wanted to have dinner in on some nights, but couldn't comfortably sit round the table. The TV turned out to require a Netflix subscription. When we told Malcolm we didn't have one he brought us an indoor aerial, which was kind of him but it could only get a few local channels. Worst of all we didn't realize the risk of failing to make sure to feed the parking meter outside the flat when we had unpacked. We got wheel clamped which cost 125 euro to unclamp. The info booklet in the flat didn't mention anything about parking, which is complicated in Galway and we found out can vary between 4 euro and 28 euro per 24 hours.
