Malcolm’s apartment is in a great location in a safe building. The designated parking space is just down the way in a garage and also safe. From the apartment we were just minutes away from great eats, walks and fun by foot. No need to drive to take in Galway.
We had some issues the first day with finding the place/getting the key and found Malcolm’s response time slow. When we arrived one shade was broken, wash was going, there were dirty utensils in the drawer and one terribly stained towel in the wash. Two very small and thin towels were laid out for our use. The beds were tiny and for sure not King sized. Also there was a foul stench and very loud noises from the recycling facility right across the street from the apartment, which is of course not shown in his picture.
After a long travel day and walking around the city, my boyfriend was showering and because of a horribly clogged drain, caused the floors in both bedroom and bathroom to flood. We spent a great deal of time mopping and soaking it up. Malcolm DID NOT respond back to us that evening and not for quite some time until the following morning. And although he did end up fixing it, he did not apologize nor make allowances for the inconvenience or to check in to see if things were running more smoothly.
Happy to say that the next few days went better as we spent all our time basically out of the apartment. The apartment is not homey or warm but sparse and in semi-working condition. It could use some TLC and better turn-over management between guests.
It works because it’s all about the location.
