This apartment exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Irene met us upon arrival and gave lots of helpful suggestions and recommendations. She very kindly gave us a welcoming gift of amazing local cheese and crackers and a bottle of wine - thank you! The apartment is sunny and spacious and perfectly located to explore all that Galway has to offer. Despite it's very central location, we found it very quiet. The apartment is very secure and the views cannot be beat. Simply stunning. There are shops and restaurants galore in the immediate area and we enjoyed walking down by the water almost every evening. Weather was spectacular- we were very lucky. Thanks again for your hospitality Irene- much appreciated!
