The apartment is in a great location. Its very spacious and convenient to the town (several restaurants and a well stocked shop) and a good base to explore Connemara. One shower flooded no matter what we did as it did not have a recessed drain area so we stopped using it. The method of dealing with electricity (filling a meter) is not ideal for vacationers. We were of this unusual arrangement in advance from the listing but did not anticipate alarms going off when we arrived for low electricity balances left by the previous tenant and having to worry about it running out. This seems to be more of a student dorm setting but it can function for a family. The best part is really the location which worked well for us.
