Meredith and Jake are great hosts - very welcoming and encourage you to feel at home, and if you are really lucky Meredith will make you pancakes. They're very upfront and honest about the two things some people may want to avoid, it's a smoking house and they have two dogs. Neither of these bothered me, indeed the dogs are a delight. The room is perfect for a solo traveller. Their house is well located if you are looking to explore more than just Galway, as it's a simple 15 minute bus ride into town and you are straight on the main road to Cliffs of Moher etc. in the other direction. Thanks again for a great stay.
