Location, Location, Location! This apartment was a perfect location- close to bars, restaurants and shopping. We parked our car in the Cathedral Car lot and never needed it the 2 days we were in Galway. The apartment was very cozy and clean! The only noise we heard was from the water heater every time the water was run. And we expected this, after reading the other reviews. There is some noise from the bars that are close by- but that should be expected when staying in the heart of the town. We would definitely stay here again! Siobhan was a great host.
