This is the pied a terre of my dreams. It's the perfect combo of historical quirk and modern amenities, located in easy walking distance from both central and west Galway City, yet quiet and peaceful once you're inside.
A few things to note:
- it's a little hard to find. There aren't good street signs so ask Lorraine for some landmarks.
- the door is on an electronic keypad which is scheduled to respond to the code you're given at exactly the time listed. If you arrive a few minutes early, the door won't open. The hosts are very responsive if you have any issues.
- like an old European apartment, the bathroom is across the (private) hall from the rest of the apartment. It's big, well appointed, and clean. No one else has access to the hallway but you (it's inside the apartment, not in a shared space). Worth noting the set-up so you can set your expectations, especially if you're a person who wakes up in the night to use the facilities.
I highly recommend this apartment. If you enjoy a modern space where you can watch the light play on ancient wood beams, people watch from the window, and be steps away from the thrum of Galway City, then this one's for you!
