My wife was a bit taken aback when we pulled up--this apartment is in a very working class neighborhood. But the inside is as-described, it sleeps a lot of folks, and it is a very quick walk to Eyre Square--under 10 minutes. We had a question on the wifi and Mary sorted it out immediately. Also, the three best traditional music sessions we saw in our ten days in Ireland were between this apartment and Eyre Square. So yeah, good location and if I'm lucky enough to get back to Galway again I would stay again in this home.
