My party of three only stayed for a few nights, but we wish that our itinerary could have allowed for more time in Galway- specifically because Mags's place was such a lovely home to stay in. Mags was so accommodating and quick to respond to any inquiries before we arrived via AirBnB messenger. On arrival, she greeted us and showed us around the lovely home. She made sure we knew how to contact her if we had any questions or issues.
The AirBnB is part of an apartment complex, and lets out onto a very quiet courtyard. It is just outside the Latin quarter of Galway, but right next to the wharf and a beautiful harbor and lighthouse with about a 1/2 mile walking trail, as well as right next to the canal, which has walkways next to it that lead to Galway's university.
The location really was perfect. It was just outside of the busy central area, but within a five to ten minute walk of everything Galway had to offer. We had rented a car and had no trouble finding parking with Mags's directions. Just down the block is a church parking lot that offers 24 hour spaces for 5 euros. There are also two other garages within a 5 minute walk from the apartment where a car could be parked.
The apartment was clean and comfortable. We did day trips outside of Galway, and being able to come home and relax in the living room, and then sleep on comfortable beds with wonderful sheets, was exactly what we needed after long journeys on the road. With Mags's suggestions, we also added a few beautiful stops to our itinerary, including Cardif and Sky View Road.
Mags- thank you for such wonderful hospitality and an absolutely amazing stay! I hope we can come back and use your home as our base for further advetures in Western Ireland.
