This place has a great location but a little hard to find. It is located above a restaurant. Parking is not next to property and you need to pay at another garage with a 5 minute walk. It had coffee for first day only. It took a while to get a response to questions . Loved the view and living area.

This rental is located in the heart of Galway- we couldn't have asked for a better location for exploring the city. That being said, revelers on the street were quite loud well into sleeping hours. Not great for our kids' sleep. Pack ear plugs and a white noise machine.

The location was excellent. We were right in town next to the water at the base of the Latin Quarter. We walked to dinner each night. The Cliffs of Moher were 1 hour and 30 minutes away. We had a wonderful time.

Galway in June

We had an amazing time in Galway and this rental was a big part of it. The apartment is very beautiful, spacious, modern and extremely clean. The location is terrific: we walked from the train station and were a super quick walk to everything we wanted to do. The Latin quarter is literally across the street. Our hosts were quick to respond to questions and check in/out was easy. We loved our stay and highly recommend it!
