The apartment has a great view and there are some decent pubs near by, but it is a little too far from the Latin Quarter to walk to all the popular areas down there. The washer when we washed our clothes took a solid 3 hours to wash, the beds were really hard, and the toilets had some trouble flushing. Also we ran out of hot water pretty quickly when showering and there is a busy street right outside the window so it was pretty noisy all night long.
The apartment itself was very clean and it was nice to have a place to park our car. If your coming to Galway for the bay views and to relax it would be a great pick, but if you are coming to Galway to do the more touristy things I would recommend finding a place closer to Quay street.
