Staying at Nora's place was lovely. The location was fantastic - located in walking distance to most of Galway's best attractions. It was so close to everything that we barely spent anytime at her home! When we did see her briefly, she was sweet and welcoming - everything you want in a host.
The room and shared bathroom are fairly basic. Nothing fancy and definitely has a "lived in" vibe, but my friend and I each had a bed that did its job. We slept comfortably on the quiet street and enjoyed ourselves.
Nora also prepared a small breakfast for us each morning. It was a delightful bonus to start the day. She even packed sandwiches for us on our final day, something to nibble on the train back to Dublin.
Overall, you're getting a wonderful host, a charming breakfast & an unbeatable location.
