Malachy's place is a bit far away from Galway center, but it's easily accessible by car and very convenient if you need to get on the M6. The room is clean and the bed is very comfy. Malachy is also very friendly and helpful - he offered a lot of advice for things we could see in the area and he was always checking to see if we're comfortable in his home. The only other thing mentioning is that Malachy has a dog - she's very calm and friendly, but if you are afraid of dogs, this might be a problem. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Malachy's place - it's a very good place to stay if you're travelling to Galway by car.
