You really couldn't ask for a better host than Annamarie. She greeted us at the bus station and drove us to the apartment and took the time out to show us the runnings of the place. She had got in some groceries for us too which was a lovely touch. On the last night the weather took a turn for the worst and Annamarie text us to say she had left out some extra bedding for us. She also offered to take us back to the bus station on our return journey.

The apartment itself is spotless clean and looks to have been recently decorated. The location by Spanish arch is just perfect with spectacular views of the river corrib meeting Galway bay. It is the best of both worlds as the hustle and bustle of the shops and pubs are just a stones throw away and you turn the corner to the peaceful 'long walk'.

We live in Dublin and usually get to Galway for a break every year. We have stayed in plenty of hotels over the years but will definitely be returning to annamaries place. She is a kind, friendly and welcoming host without being intrusive. We are already looking into coming back for a winter break!!
