Gillian's place is cozy, very clean, well-furnished and has everything you need for a short-term or longer-term stay. Gillian and Sean are fantastic hosts who were very hospitable and welcoming. As I was staying with them for a longer period (about 2 weeks in total), they allowed me to use their kitchen, washing machine and dryer at no extra cost, which was very generous. The location is fantastic: it is nice and quiet, but at the same time you can walk to the Salthill Promenade in about 15 minutes and it's a 20 mins bus ride into the centre. The bus departs twice an hour and the bus stop is about a 5 mins walk from the place. There is a Joyce's supermarket in about 15 mins walking distance, which has a very good selection. I highly recommend Gillian's place if you're looking to stay somewhere in Galway, be it for a shorter vacation or a slightly longer period.
