If you are staying in Galway, seriously consider Phil’s place. We were just looking for decently rated conveniently located lodging and got so much more. Frankly, for our short time in Galway, Phil’s home was an unexpected highlight.
From the start, it is near downtown but sits in a more private area of homes near parks and removed from the tourist bustle. The homes in the area are connected but noise was never an issue. I have no eye or care for style but Phil’s grabbed my attention. As a guy I’m proud to say how adorable and well coordinated and outright fun her whole house was. There was a creative display of figurines, old advertisements, curious paintings, and the like. Always something fun to see yet it all tied together curiously well.
The bathroom was attached to our room, unshared. Parking was right out front and easy. Solid restaurants at normal prices were within walking distance.
She is wonderfully sweet, polite, thoughtful, and charming. Though we were full from a great breakfast on again super coordinated tableware, she insisted on giving us to go coffee and sandwiches for the road.
