Location, location, location!!
We had a great time at Ursula and Ruaidhri’s place we have used lots of Airbnb’s and this was one of the best. The location is just right for visiting Galway city and surrounds. You are just 2 minutes walk from the best restaurants and pubs in town. The city centre itself is just 5 minutes and you can be at the beach in 5 minutes too (although it was a little chilly for a swim!)
The apartment is recently redone and is in a historic house with a nice front garden. The place is quiet for a central location which suited us.
Ruaidhri and Ursula gave us a map which outlined all the best parts of Galway and were very knowledgable about restaurants and bars. They even helped us make reservations before our arrival which ensured we got to the best Galway had to offer as our stay there was short.
The apartment has 2 very large bedrooms with the old features of the house still intact. A good kitchen with high quality cooking facilities and utensils. The shower is great and everything was spotlessly clean. We were made feel very welcome.
The one thing you need to watch out for is parking. Check that out with Ruaidhri in advance as he will point you to a place with free parking.
When you’re there go to Kai Restaurant for fab food , Crane Bar (for traditional music), Neachtains bar for Galway atmosphere. I also suggest staying in Galway for longer than we did. 1 night was way too short and a mistake. 3 nights and 2 full days would be ideal. We will be back again to finish Galway off and we will definitely be staying here again. I highly recommend it. Thanks Ruaidhri and Ursula!
