The facility was amazingly clean and in great condition. It was also very close to the beach and Salt Hill which isn't very far from Galway. So, it was nice to get away from the bigger city without being too far to miss out on all the touristy things. There was a stadium RIGHT behind the house. So, there was some sort of game going when we got there which got kind of loud. But, thankfully, it didn't last in to the night to disturb out sleep.
There was a bit of lack of communication. I didn't realize there would be various people other than the owner that would be visiting there. Consequently, we had to park in the street. It was still free so not too bad. The post stated that, if we were to cook in the kitchen, we would need to make arrangements with the owner. This was find. So, we opted to buy pre-made things (except for my husband's that had to be microwaved). What we weren't made aware of is that, when the owner had people over, we wouldn't be able to use the kitchen or dining area in the sunroom. We weren't allowed to eat upstairs and, during dinner time, we weren't allowed to eat downstairs. So, we were asked to eat outside. At the time, we were okay with this since there was a beautiful garden outside. Then, it started to sprinkle making is less enjoyable. By this time, my daughter and mother were too afraid to come down to eat or leave their room. So, they had to go to bed hungry. Ultimately, if you are looking a very clean "hostel" type environment with a lot of rules this would work. As long as you don't get in too late, and don't get up too early and are ok with eating out and strictly using the facility to sleep and shower, this is perfect.
