From the start of the booking the host was responsive and helpful. The host also met us upon arrival with coffee and snacks waiting. We were also able to check in about an hour early due to the timing of our train arrival. It fit our family of 6 perfectly. While two of the bedrooms are small, the beds were comfortable. The walk to the city center was easy and quick. Overall an excellent place to stay!

Delighted you enjoyed the accomodation. 6 adults stayed 2 cars cannot be accommodated on site. There are lots of parking facilities nearby which have a minimal cost for city centre parking. I did allow access to parking anytime it was requested. Unfortunately a busy time with university returning.

Perfect location

Wonderful stay here! Accommodations are clean and just as described. Cool view of the Cathedral right across the street. Easily walkable to everything and close to all the activity but just far enough away that it is quiet. Also right across from University of Galway campus so very accessible to that as well. Highly recommend this place and Doreen is a great host!

We are an Irish family from Galway who love to travel and when available to stay in this second home. We enjoy the city and its culture and enjoy other cultures.

Why they chose this property

There is no place in the city as well located as this. It is next the university and opposite the cathedral, which have a buzz of tourists and visitors each day. The evening is tranquil and in the morning the sounds of birds are a welcome wakeup call.

What makes this property unique

When on AirB&B this apartment was the No 1. place to stay in Galway. No wonder! It has everything on the doorstep, walks, theatre, restaurants, A short walk to the train station, buses to Connemara, Cliffs of Moher or to the Aran Islands. A very restful stay is assured in this tranquil setting. Gated parking for one car is available
