Location!!! I can not say enough about what a perfect location this was to get to know Galway. We felt so incredibly fortunate to be staying in this spot -- only steps away from shops and restaurants, right along the enticing canal paths, just a few minutes from a great morning run by the harbor and park. The apartment looks and feels just like the photos you see here: a space that is both restful and bright, even on rainy days. Loved having a parking spot for the rental car and daytrips, and loved that the apartment was so central it was easy to stop back to change clothes, drop off baked goods (all the baked goods!), grab a nap, whatever anyone needed. We had minimal contact with the owners, but got prompt help with a couple burnt out light fixtures which was great. If your party is large enough to plan on using the sofa bed, it is (unsurprisingly) much less comfortable than the mattresses in the bedrooms -- good to know just in case anyone in your party is especially sensitive to that. We stayed 10 nights and I wanted to stay for a month -- that's how comfortably at home we were. We will always be grateful for our wonderful visit.
