Maire is a wonderful host - she was very responsive to any queries. The flat itself is in a fabulous location - it is offset from the road (and so quiet), it overlooks the river Corrib which is constantly changing. There are numerous restaurants on the street (with everything from a Michelin starred restaurant to really good local burger places). It is less than 200m from the Latin quarter and 500m from the Galway bay. It is an amazing base from which to explore and enjoy Galway. (Note it is up two flights of stairs for folks who may have access issues.)
