The location was fantastic! close enough to walk to everything and far enough away where you didn't have to deal with the noise.
The owners accommodated us checking in 1.5 hours early, which was great! The space had most of your basic amenities and it was fun to watch the working waterfront out the window.
Unfortunately, there was a terrible odor in the bathroom/bedroom downstairs - so bad we considered a hotel. seriously nauseating. The owners do make mention of this in their physical handbook at the unit, but a heads up before arrival would have been nice as we would likely have opted to move to a hotel instead. I did mention it to the hosts during the stay and they acknowledged the smell so this is clearly an ongoing issue they are dealing with but have not resolved.
The layout of the space is nice and very clean, however we had 6 people staying and there is really only couch seating for 4 people and then there is a dining table for 5- nothing really accommodated 6.
We are a pretty quiet group, but lived in fear the whole time that there would be a complaint in the building and we would lose our deposit. Also the checkout instructions were a bit confusing- the auto email indicated one set of instructions and the physical book in the unit had another set.
Galway is lovely- if we come back, I can't say we would return to this place unless the bathroom issue had been resolved.
