The apartment is appointed with everything you could need for a short term stay - pots, pans, tea, coffee, etc. The furniture is more "lived in" than luxury quality, but that makes it good for a family or group. The beds and bedding are comfortable, and the bathrooms were outfitted with bath+shower gels and nice quality towels/mats. The main bathroom even has heated flooring! There is lots of space to spread out and relax, and a huge comfy couch. Rooms are separated so no one will disturb each other. The location in Salt Hill is great - quiet, about 5mins walk to the beach, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues and only a short (~20mins) walk to Galway's port, Spanish Arch and main street. The Nest Boutique Hostel staff gave us the key and were really helpful with all of our questions. Our only issue was with the heating -- when we arrived, it was quite chilly out, and the thermostat did not work exactly as the instructions indicated. We had to fiddle with the heaters individually in order to get them to work but after that everything was comfortable.
