The owner was very accomodating with our every request. The apartment was very clean and spacious. The owner went over places to visit & put together a binder with very helpful picture and information on tourist attractions. Our view was spectacular every hour of every day. I would highly recommend staying here. I would come again.

My trip was intended as a month-long personal retreat, and this place was ideal for that. It is in a quiet, mostly residential and B&B-populated area, with Galway Bay right across the street. The building and apartments are clean and well maintained. The kitchen was adequate to cook in. The owner was gracious and friendly, and though I didn't have many needs, I felt he was easy to reach and responsive.

It's not a hotel, so don't expect daily room cleaning or a front desk. This is definitely more for an independent traveller or someone who would like a reasonably-priced home base from which to go on day trips or enjoy the music and scenery of Galway City. It's got the basics of home, it's comfortable, and it's a great location.

A few things to make your stay better, if you're planning for more than a week like I did:

Hit the €2 Store the first day and get anything you need that's not already there. There are a couple of them in the city centre. For food shopping, Mortons is literally a 1-minute walk around the corner, but it's expensive. A little closer to town is a larger and less-expensive SuperValu, and further into town is an even larger Dunnes Store. Ask for a tutorial on how to use the combination washer/dryer, but don't expect it to dry the clothes too well. The owner provides a rack to hang clothes on; very bohemian :) The free high-speed internet is wired, so if you prefer wireless, bring along a wireless router with you.

Enjoy. Galway is a lovely place to spend some time.

Would not recommend this apartment.
Priced the apartment, the man on the phone asked me 'What I was laughing at'. When unable to take the aparment - His reply was - 'GOOD'
Most unprofessional considering the price I was going to pay.
Actually left me feeling very upset.

It is an excellent pace to stay. It has all the comforts needed for time away from home. It is spotlessly clean, very secure, close to all shops and amenities, and within walking distance of Galway City. The prom is directly across the road, and the view from the living room window was great. The owner was always gracious, helpful and available. I was glad of the privacy. While I spent a few weeks on my own there, I enjoyed many activities in the area, and I could recommend it for couples or families. I hope I can return! Galway was within easy walking distance, and so it has become my favourite city!
