This was my first ever Air BnB expereince and this place was great! I stayed here for a little more than two weeks and absolutely enjoyed my stay. The place looks exactly like the pictures and it's very easy to get there. I depended on walking everywhere or taking the train. The town centre was only 5-10 minutes away and there were nice restaurants and shops nearby. Walking to the supermarket only took about 5 minutes too and they had everything one could need.
I did not get in contact much with the family, you get all the privacy you want. However, I did meet Paul once, because I needed him to take a look at something and he was very friedly and helpful. Everything is very self-explainitory and they provide everything you need, like a variety of kitchen supplies, towels etc.
The comunication with Paul was great, he answered right away and always helped when he could.
Galway is only about a 15-20 minute train ride away and the train station is easy to find and not far away at all.
I would definitely always choose this place for Athenry again!
