Irene's place is the absolute perfect place to stay if you're staying in Galway. There was nothing that I could have asked for that could have been better about our stay. We had an extremely late arrival into Galway (2 am), and Irene figured out how to make it work, communication the entire time was excellent, and we even arrived to some local Irish cheese and crackers, which was perfect, because we were starving! The location of Irene's place, on Lower Dominick Street is wonderful...easy to get to everything, but sort of away from the big crowds. The place itself is spotless, but has everything you will need. We were only two people, and only used one of the two bedrooms, but my husband and I loved having the extra space, and felt it was so much nicer than being in a hotel, and it cost us exactly what a hotel would have. Irene's book of suggestions is the most thorough I have ever seen. And Irene herself could not be a lovlier, nicer hostess! When you think of Ireland, the wonderful people, and why you go, Irene is the epitome of the Irish hostess! Do not hesitate to stay at Irene's place when you go to Galway! We hated leaving!
