If you are looking to enjoy the great restaurants and pubs of Galway, this location couldn't be better. You walk out the door and through the private gate and you are steps away from so many great places to eat and drink. You're also walking distance to the harbor and river. The surprising thing is that even with it being right in the heart of the city, we didn't find it to be too noisy at night. The home was clean and comfortable. Everything was as advertised. I would have given 5 stars, and wish I was able to give 4.5. The only thing that made it a 4 star review vs. a 5 star review is that the home isn't very well stocked. There was no paper towels in the kitchen or facial tissue in the bathroom. It would also be nice if there was at least one spare blanket in the home. All 3 beds had a comforter but no other blankets could be found. The host also informed us upon departure that we needed to dispose of our own glass bottles or incur a $15 fee. If this is true then they need to put that upfront on the listing. I don't anticipate having to deal with my own garbage when I'm on vacation. Knowing all of this now, I'd probably still stay here again because the location is so great. I'd just have to stop by a store before arriving for some of the non-stocked items.
