I loved staying with Lorraine! The location cannot be beat - a 2 minute walk to the coach/train station, 5 minutes to Eyre Square and the pedestrian walking/shopping area, and only about a 20 minute scenic walk to Salthill beach and promenade. It is close to everything you need but is located in a quiet neighborhood free from any noise. Lorraine was a great host who was kind and responsive with anything any of the guests needed. The breakfast included everything from yogurt and granola, to cereal, to fruit, to delicious homemade scones, crepes, and eggs. A couple days I was so full from breakfast that I didn't need lunch! The whole house was clean and safe (locks on bedroom doors) and would be perfect for solo travelers or families alike. My whole stay was wonderful and I will definitely be staying again the next time I'm in Galway!
