I had such a great time staying at Mary’s home while on my first solo trip to Ireland. Mary really went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and taken care of. It was great hearing a local’s advice for the area and hearing her stories. We had lots of evening chats after I got back from being a tourist in town and it was lovely!
The house itself is very close to a bus stop, however the buses are sometimes very delayed on the way out of town in the evening, so if it’s a nice day walking the 30 or so minutes to her place may be worth it.
I stayed in the upstairs room with an en suite and it was very spacious and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Mary’s place for anyone traveling to Galway for a few days, especially young adult travelers who may need a break from hostels or who want to be in a more low key environment for a few nights.
