The apartment was spacious, clean, quiet and warm. It's also walking distance to the centre of town. We arrived in Galway for Christmas and it was a wonderful base to explore the bars, shops and sights. The Crane Bar was a highlight for traditional Irish music and singing, and only about 20 metres away. Ernie's shop below the apartment is a great source and stocks a delicious array of organic products - perfect for our Christmas dinner! Ernie is a wonderful charming host who delights in welcoming his guests and telling some fabulous stories about his experiences.
