We lived in Galway for many years, so we knew when we saw this apartment that the location would be second-to-none. It is wonderfully central; you are so close to many of Galway's wonderful attractions. In particular, there is the fabulous Bierhaus down the road (great whiskeys, biers, cocktails, and a laid-back ambiance), Kai on Sea Road (great brunch, and the *best* cake in Galway between 12-3pm), just a 10-minute walk to the university, yet still nice and quiet. What really surprised and charmed us was just how thoughtfully planned this Airbnb is. We were staying during the COVID pandemic, and this was the best adapted Airbnb I have seen, with such clear and conscientious care being taken; hand sanitiser and antibacterial wipes right inside the door, plastic covering the light switches, etc. I felt really reassured. Ollie and Mary were so clear and helpful in their communications, and thoughtfully left the heating on for us when we arrived so we wouldn't be cold. This is such an ideal spot to explore the delights of Galway from, and we plan to be back. Thanks, Ollie and Mary!
