Phil treated my sister and me like family. She is gracious and accommodating, and went "the extra mile" to make us feel welcome and safe. Her home is lovely, beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. It is located in a nice neighborhood that is a very short walk to all the amenities of Galway. We were able to walk from the bus station near Eyre Square in a few minutes, as it's only a few blocks (hauling our luggage as well). Near Eyre Square there is an abundance of restaurants, pubs, hotels, and shops, plus several ATM machines in the area. Phil provided an abundance of delicious breakfast food with many choices.
