To start, Galway is an exceptional city. A must see in Ireland. The food is fantastic and the people are so kind and welcoming. There’s a great city centre, beautiful beaches, and lovely neighborhoods. Our stay in Irene’s home couldn’t have been better. With two children under 3 traveling from the US is a challenge. Irene was wonderful from the beginning. Due to various circumstances we changed our check in time a few different times. She had no issue at all and was there to greet us and walk us through on arrival. The home is darling. The windows open up to the sounds and smells of the beautiful water below. The views are exceptional. The beds were very comfortable and we were provided with extra pillows and blankets as needed. The kitchen and living area is upstairs and is open and spacious with equally amazing views out each window. There was plenty of space for our family to make ourselves at home. The location is perfect, we didn’t drive once during our stay. Everything you could want to see or visit was within walking distance, yet we still had the privacy and quiet as the place is set back from the road. I can’t speak highly enough about the hospitality. We will most definitely stay again if we’re able to make it and will recommend to family and friends.
