Ernie and his place were both outstanding! My stay in Galway was just about a week and I couldn’t have asked for a better location: bustling during the day, warm and friendly locals (many friends were made at many restaurants), and quiet at night.
The apartment was great: comfortable bed, fabulous shower, and much larger than it appeared in the pictures. Ernie’s shop downstairs was a treasure of fabulous food buys, with the apothecary and general mart just across the street. I can not recommend staying at Ernie’s place more! Thanks again, Ernie!
