Our stay at Marie's residence was our first experience with airbnb. Marie met us when we arrived in Galway so that we could find her home easily. She was friendly and took the time to get to know us a bit when we arrived. I had mentioned in our request that it was our honeymoon, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that she had left a nice note in our room, some chocolates, and offered us glasses of wine. She also offered to make reservations for dinner and/or to drive us into town. (We decided to walk since it was a nice evening.) The walk to the main area of Galway was direct- only about 15-20 minutes- and pleasant, in a very nice neighborhood. Marie provided us with excellent recommendations for restaurants and pubs for live music. Marie's home was quiet, peaceful, and comfortable for sleeping. Our room had its own bathroom down the hall. The next day, Marie made a delicious breakfast for us, which we enjoyed at a table for two in a room overlooking her pretty garden. She took time out of her day to chat with us after breakfast, and we had a really nice conversation and a relaxing time. Overall, we highly recommend staying at Marie's residence during a trip to Galway.
