Ratings and reviews
8.0 / 10.0
The stay was very enjoyable for the most part.
The good:
1. Cleanliness
2. Location
3. “Escape room” entrance
(Note: for key pick up, etc. , follow the instructions!)
4. Laundry facilities were good
5. Kitchen utensils/glassware excellent
6. Shower pressure very good
7. Local market right below our rooms!
8. Open kitchen/dining/lounge area was great
9. Romeo/Juliette balcony
10. Security
Not so good:
1. En suite sink was plugged - took 2 nights for it to be useable!
2. Logistics of sharing only 1set of keys (!?) between 2 couples, made throwing them from our balcony to the roommates, was crazy and unnecessary. Eg. if you were going in early and left the key in the entrance lockbox for your roommates to use later, you couldn’t because you couldn’t get yourself in once the keys were locked up…! A second set of keys is a critical shortcoming of this VRBO.
3. Clothes dryer very finicky.
Rooms are quite hot (with not heater turned on. Had to leave windows open for air. Rain came/wind blew continually in the windows/balcony.
All in all, would stay here again.

Apartment was great. Kitchen well stocked.
Great location in city center! You will need to park first then unload. Info that may be helpful- we stayed in July, Thursday-Sunday and the Spanish arch area below the apartment was extremely busy and loud. People late into the night and 6:00 am workers and machines with noisy birds all the time! We were a group of 4 older adults. We still enjoyed our stay!

The apartment has a beautiful view. It’s close to the Spanish Arch which is located near Shop Street, the quay, coastal walk and river walk. Lots of restaurants and cafes in easy walking distance.
Communication with the host company was excellent. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again in f we come to Galway.

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!

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.

The view was amazing and the place had everything we needed. It is a great location too. The only issue was trying to get the keys out of the lockbox in the pouring rain … and the first shower was a little cold . But if you read all the information they provide everything is explained. Would stay again !

Amazing location (perfect for walking around Galway and catching Aran Islands ferry), lovely apartment with all the amenities we wanted, great check-in/check-out system, and good communication with manager. For those not used to living in a city, you might hear some noise from folks walking by late at night (it's a quiet location, so even conversations stand out), but nothing out of the ordinary or even that loud. Would highly recommend!

Loved falling asleep to the sound of the rushing river. Location was central to great shops and cafes.

Steps away from everything! Great nightlife. Perfect for the races, touring, or just being in Galway. Would stay here again for sure.

14 year old drunk kids outside your window yelling, fighting and blasting music until 3-4 AM depending on weekday v weekend. You will not sleep. Close the windows for some quiet but then it's a hotbox and you still hear bass from music. There's a reason this is let out and not lived in, it's not livable. Spanish Arch is for preteens. Cops walked through a few times but it doesn't matter. I'll remove this when the Galway Guarda let me know they've cleaned up the arch area.

Great location to the busy bars and shops on Quay, and the less busy west end. We walked from the train station with no issue. Check in was easy and detailed. The space was clean and comfortable. It was our last stop on a long vacation and enjoyed cooking and watching tv one night. This place is bookmarked as we will be back!

The property itself was great and the apartment was clean. The outside area was not always clean. Trash pickup was not efficient. The view of the river was fantastic. We had no car so the location was perfect for walking. The rental had everything we needed.

The place was clean, secure and right in the heart of everything. I would recommend this to anyone

We had a wonderful time in Galway because of renting this condo. It was clean; had all the amenities; was in the perfect location to get around Galway whether walking or driving; and Sinead provided excellent suggestions for eating, etc. Parking is close by. I would definitely stay there again if we go back to Galway
10.0 / 10.0
Very good communication, a bit involved C/I process but we managed. The apartment is sparkling clean and fresh, the bedding good though we would have appreciated a top sheet. Showers were good. The only drawback was the kitchen supplies, lack of water glasses, paper towel roll, S&P, dish drain pad but otherwise just fine. We loved the location and once we settled in were able to purchase what we needed. Thanks
6.0 / 10.0
The apt is very nice, we loved the views and location. BUT….
It took us a number of attempts to find the pullout to drop off luggage at Jury’s Inn (it’s in front of the hotel, marked “For busses only”) We found much cheaper parking ourselves at a nearby church (€5 for 24 hrs, vs €20 elsewhere)
The key lock box is poorly designed and difficult to use.
But most importantly, we had absolutely NO WIFI until our last evening (of 4 nights). No communication from the management company on our third day without wifi. On our last day the wifi was fixed and they left chocolates and wine for our troubles, but we had to ASK for the new password.
We were disappointed that no recycling was available. There were only two glasses for four people. There’s very poor water pressure for sinks and showers. The ensuite bathroom was very small (you need to back up to the toilet to shut the door).
For all the warnings about this being a quiet building, we experienced a lot of NOISE: loud young people all along the waterfront at night until the early hours; a noisy leaf blower (moving bottles and cans) just before 7 am, followed by street sweepers.
And finally—to add insult to injury—garbage was strewn across the entry way for the entire last day (and following morning) of our stay.
The accumulation of irritations we experienced didn’t ruin our short visit to Galway, but they did tarnish our complete enjoyment.

Great apartment, great location, great hosts
Beautiful, clean, modern apartment in fantastic Spanish arch location overlooking Claddagh Quay. Easy walk to shops and restaurants.
Sinead was a pleasure to deal with and was very responsive. She provided recommendations for our stay and great clear instructions for access and property information during our stay.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or stay here again.

Wonderful
We loved the location close to restaurants, music in the pubs and streets, shops, and beautiful views of the river. We were able to walk to nearly everything in this lovely city. The apartment is nicely equipped and clean, with simple but comfortable decor. We would happily return
