Location right by the water, couldn't be better. You will walk 5 minutes into the pretty town of Galway, so you are super close to everything of interest but have the advantage of a quiet place instead of, say, staying above a pub on one of the busier streets. You walk ten minutes to Galway Tour Company and Aran Island Ferries, both of which we had good experiences with for day trips to Connemara, Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands. We appreciated that the kitchen was very well equipped, and basic food (oats, pasta, and much more) were already there, so we didn't need to go grocery shopping immediately. The beds were comfortable. One thing you might take into consideration is that the wifi was very good in the living room area and first bedroom (front part of the home), but less reliable in the back part. If you have data volume on your phone, maybe this is not too bad for you. But if you want to work from there or use the internet extensively in other ways, it should be fine from the living room but it might be tricky in the back part of the house and the garden (which is otherwise lovely). Though this may vary and could just have been a combination of the particular days we stayed and my devices, I don't want to omit anything. Overall I would definitely recommend a stay! And we loved Galway and the surrounding natural sights. Last thing: if you want an amazing meal, go to the Seafood Bar at Kirwan's.
