Had an absolutely amazing experience staying with Karol and her lovely daughter Emma-Lee-Jane. Couldn't have been more friendly, hospitable, helpful and accommodating.
Unable to make the outlined check-in time due to only being able to leave after the time mentioned on the site as well as traffic, Karol was extremely flexible and patient with regard to changing circumstances in more than one occasion.
On arriving Karol was extremely warm and friendly and made me feel very at ease and welcome straight away offering me a cup of tea almost immediately. Had some very interesting conversations with her and also met her lovely daughter who was also very friendly and welcoming and extremely talented. Expect to see her in some area of the arts in the not too distant future. It was refreshing to meet such open minded, interesting and down to earth people and it really added to my stay in Galway.
Karol also gave me a very informative run down on many of the local amenities and activities as well as what was on which was extremely helpful.
The house is beautiful and relaxed as well as extremely well - kept. The room was lovely and quiet and the bed was extremely comfortable ... So much so that I had the longest lie in I've ever had. :)
It's ideally located and Salthill is a beautiful area with lovely walks, food places and coffee shops. It is also within walking distance of Galway city and the bus stop is almost right outside the door which only takes a couple of minutes. It couldn't be any handier.
I would 100% recommend staying with Karol. She will be first port of call the next time I am going to Galway.
Thank you both for such a lovely experience.
