Edel is one of the most kind, respectful, down to earth, lovely people that we have ever stayed with. She is extremely outgoing and easy to talk to. We requested to stay only one day prior to our arrival on Christmas Day and she responded quickly back to us. She greeted us with wine, cheese, and crackers and opened her entire home for us to use. She gave us advice on where we should visit locally, offered us guide books, and told us about her global travels. The parking lot is large and it is right outside of the door. A stroll into town is very lovely and is only about a half hour. The drive into town is only about 5 minutes, Edel even offered us a lift into town as well! To take a taxi back to the house from town is only about €9. She let us use her kitchen to make dinner and she even woke up early to make us breakfast. She was willing to help us with anything we needed. Galway is a beautiful city worth visiting. The food in town is amazing and the nightlife is very friendly and safe. We give Edel our highest recommendation, we hope to visit her again someday!
