For us, this was a good budget option. I wouldn’t call it cozy but it met our needs. Heat worked, beds were comfortable, and showers were warm. This unit is in the back of the building so the view from the living room is mostly obscured by the apartments in front, but you can see the water in the distance through a part of the living room window. Sean is a very responsive host and can share a lot about the history of Galway. We enjoyed our stay. There is a great grocery store close by and a few good restaurants about 5 minutes away. It is a 15 minute walk to the city center where all the action is.
