Annamarie’s absolutely immaculate, well-situated place was just perfect for my teenage son and me - plenty of space for us both, but cozy and restful after long hours of sightseeing. We really appreciated the extra touches, including a refrigerator stocked with fresh milk, eggs, butter, biscuits, and even 7-Up for my son, who was recovering from a nasty bug (caught in Dublin). We were delighted with the view of the bay out the front window, and with the location, which has you just steps from the Spanish Arch and the City Center. Given the location, we were amazed at how quiet it was inside. Aside from hearing the occasional snippets of conversation from passers by, we heard nothing. We slept like logs. We felt so lucky to be staying there. Also, Annamarie very graciously, and without being asked, refunded our first scheduled night after my son’s illness forced us to delay our arrival by a day. She also picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. While her place is easily walkable from the station, it was really nice not to have to schlep our bags back and forth. Washer and drier and well-equipped, spotless kitchen were very helpful amenities. Highly recommended for a stay in Galway and jumping off point to trips to the Aran Islands, Connemara, Cliffs of Moher, etc.
