I stayed with Kathryn long term. She is absolutely amazing. She made sure I had my own cabinet in the kitchen and space in the fridge. I stayed in the ensuite bedroom, which was always very neat after she cleaned it. So was the rest of her house. Kathryn made me feel at home and part of her family. She made my stay in Ireland more pleasant and better than I would have thought. She knows everything there is to know about the area and was always happy to provide helpful tips about Galway, Salthill and Ireland.Her house is very close to the promenade, not even a 5 minute walk and you can see the sea. If you like to go into the city but don't want to walk then there is a busstop right outside her house which will take you directly into the city. If I ever get the change to go to Galway again I will stay at Kathryn's place!
