This apartment is very close to the old town shopping/restaurants/nightlife section of Galway (an easy walk). It was clean. Communication is with the management company and therefore not very personal, and the management company reiterates the rules often, but I guess that's why it is a quiet and pleasant place to stay. The kitchen has the minimal basics. There is a washer/dryer but no laundry soap. It's a bit pricy but probably reasonable for the location. This is a good and reasonable choice for a Galway stay.
