My family and I celebrated my dad's 70th with a trip to Ireland, and we spent our Galway portion here at this lovely apartment. The apartment itself is absolutely beautiful--clean and modern, incredible views of the bay, everything you need at your fingertips. (The doors are all self-closing, so be ready for some doors banging, or prepared to use the door stoppers conveniently provided.) The location can't be beat--steps to the promenade along the bay, around the corner from pubs, restaurants, and convenience stores, 20-30 min walk to the downtown/city center area (which you will definitely want to do!!) The hosts were both responsive from the very day I reserved the space (which came in handy when we Americans got a little lost finding the place!)
