Geraldine's place was great! Honestly you couldn't ask for a better location in Galway. We had a group of 6 (3 couples) that stayed at her place, and it was the best place we stayed at in our entire time in Ireland (we stayed at 5 different places). Everyone in our group agreed that it was the best place and everyone enjoyed it, we would definitely recommend to anyone!
Pros:
Location is very central, super close to pubs, restaurants, and shops.
There are 4 bedrooms and bathrooms! This was so great for us, we were used to sharing small quarters with the other couples, or sharing one bathroom for 6 people, but not here, we all had our own bathroom and that was probably the best thing of all!
The house was very clean and it seemed like it had recently been renovated, very nice looking and updated. The house looks just like the pictures.
Geraldine was so very nice and super accommodating. We got a little lost when we arrived in town, and she stayed later than our check in time to make sure we were all settled.
Good wifi.
Nice kitchen and eating areas.
Cons:
Parking can be difficult. We had 2 cars, but honestly the 3 streets south of her place had spaces open up for us while we were there, and there is a parking garage not too far away, but we didn't have to use it. This would be a great place to stay if you were coming into town on bus or foot.
Due to it's proximity to a busy street, the bedrooms closest to the road were a little louder, but it wasn't too bad.
The only suggestion would be to add towel hooks in the bathroom or bedroom, as we like to reuse our towels for a few days, but there was no place to hang the towels to dry, and the wood wardrobes were too nice to hang them on for fear they damaged the wood.
Overall, super great place to stay at and Geraldine was a great host!
