Enjoyable Stay

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. We particularly loved the location. Very close to several lively pubs and eateries but far enough away to be v quiet. The apartment was spotlessly clean, the kitchen well equipped the bed comfortable.. Minor quibbles, the duvet was a bit thin and it would have been nice to have a shower mat to avoid slipping

Off-beat digs with a piano!

This property is not a conventional one, it is small and oddly laid out, but the presence of a piano was a boon for my husband, a composer. There is an office upstairs. If you are sensitive to overhead sound you should know that. Also, if you have an oversized car you will not fit between the walls that lead to parking. But we stayed there a week and found that once we adapted to the quirks we were very happy!

I preferred this location as we were just outside the Latin Quarter, just a few minutes walk. Communication was great and assistance was prompt if anything was needed. Also, Tesco is just at the end of the street, making it that much easier to get the necessary goods.

Great place to stay when visiting Galway

I stayed here for 2 weeks while doing some business in Galway. The place was better than what the pictures show. It had everything I needed, was quiet, and was very close to the old part of Galway so I could walk to all the local attractions and restaurants. The location is really perfect for visiting Galway and I highly recommend it. Good value for the price!

Lovely place to stay in Galway

The townhouse was a perfect place for me to stay. I was working and exploring at the same time. Everything I needed was available and everywhere I wanted to go I was able to walk. I loved the heated floors in the bathroom. The townhome is located right outside of all the action so you could come home and it was quiet. Thank you for letting me stay!

Perfect location in Galway

Coach House was beautiful property and walking distance to everything. Property managers were very responsive and kind. Being from the US there were a few things we had to figure out, like holding door handle up to lock the door and emptying out a water chamber in the dryer, but those were truly the only blips and that was just lack of knowledge on my part. This would be a great rental for families or couples. All bedrooms are upstairs so not handicap accessible. The huge tub in the upstairs bathroom was awesome. So glad we got to experience Galway and have this lovely property to come back to after exploring.

Cute West End gem!

Loved the location, always felt safe and it was quiet at night for sleeping. Within a short walk to groceries, post office, and Galway city center. We enjoyed great pubs, quality restaurants and musical nights right around the corner on Sea Road. Salthill area beaches were lovely and not overly far if you like a good morning walk. Apartment was on first floor, only 2 steps to get in. It was the perfect size for us two older adults. Had every appliance and linen we needed. Host and Caretaker very responsive to any questions.

Quiet ease

I was looking for a place to write and walk about Galway. This was a great location and VERY quiet! Expect a mile walk to get most places but there was a fantastic little pub three blocks away with nightly music by local friends sitting together, not a tourist place. I chose this place to be sort of near the train station but not in the heart of the city. It was a short Uber ride, too long to walk with a suitcase unless your quite fit or the wheels of your suitcase are quite sturdy, more to the point. It's two blocks from the standard kind of grocery market. So while I didn't have a selection of all the foods I would have chosen, it was happily adequate and I made my meals to focus on being in a little writing pod. The son of the owner helped me get the keys that were not in the lock box and was quite gracious and available. Small and adequate, big bed, and a lovely washer dryer and the floor between the toilet and shower was Warmed from beneath which was wonderful in December when I visited!

Charming, comfortable and perfect location!

My son and I stayed in this apartment for a few days, and loved every minute. We had a long day of traveling, and arrived to a fully stocked fridge, fruit basket, and all the supplies we could need. That was wonderful. The apartment is beautifully decorated and has every convenience. Having a washer and dryer was very helpful, and we cooked a few meals which helped save some money and gave us a break from eating out all the time. The location is perfect. It's close to the heart of the city, but also very quiet. We walked everywhere. We bought bus passes but never used them, since everything is within about 10 tp 20 minutes walking distance. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to my family and friends.

Galway is always fun

i arrived at the property on Thursday Oct 5. I could not find any information in my emails and messages with the owner regarding entering the apt. I called the phone number provided on the emails a few times with nobody answering. I also sent another private message with no response. I then used another device to check my email. I found the PDF files with the check in info. The problem now was that it was raining and difficult to see the numbers on the lock. After 30 minutes or more, i was able to get in. I really wish the check in info was in an email, and not an attatchment. As far as the apt gors, it was great. It has everything that you need. It's clean, cozy and convenient. The bed is comfortable, the livingroom is relaxing and overall it is what you need. Tesco supermarket is close by and Galway town is 10 minutes walk. I would stay here again on my next trip to Galway. P.S. The washer/dryer is a bonus.

Einfaches Appartement in zentraler Lage

Das Appartement liegt im Erdgeschoss an einer vielbefahrenen Straße zwischen Galway und Salthill....jeweils etwa 10-15 Gehminuten / Tesco 5 Gehminuten. Dies war sehr praktisch, aber laut. Das Appartement ist sehr dunkel....Eingangsbereich = Küche UND Schlafzimmer OHNE Fenster. Im kleinen Wohn/Esszimmer zur Straße gar es ein Fenster mit festem Außengitter, Badezimmer durchs Schlafzimmer erreichbar mit einem kleinen Milchglasfenster zum Parkplatz hinter dem Haus. Matratzen sehr weich, kein Kleiderschrank sondern 2 offene Regale. Küche durchschnittlich ausgestattet. Wenn etwas fehlte, wurde es gebracht...wie Teekanne, Brotbrett/-messer und einiges mehr. WC Spülung auch nach einer Woche noch defekt. Alles andere wurde sehr schnell repariert. Umzug in die größere und hellere Wohnung im Obergeschoss/Dachgeschoss. In der 1 & 2. Etage befinden sich Büroräume. Der Vorgarten wurde als Außensitzbereich bei Buchung angegeben, aber in einen Mini-Vorgarten an einer vielbefahrenen Straße setzt sich keiner wirklich zur Entspannung hin. Gute, lösungsorientierte Kommunikation mit Liz & Peter, aber insgesamt hätten wir für den Preis eine bessere Leistung erwartet. Die 2. Woche in der oberen Wohnung hat etwas entschädigt.

Tolle Wohnung

Die Wohnung war absolut sauber. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern sehr gut. In der Wohnung war alles so wie in der Beschreibung aufgeführt. Es fehlte nichts. Die Lage ist zentral, aber trotzdem wohnt man ruhig. Ein Supermarkt ist in unmittelbarer Nähe. In der Innenstadt ist man zu Fuß in ca 10 Minuten. Zum Meer ca 20 Minuten. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Kleiner Hinweis zum Parkplatz. Die Einfahrt ist sehr eng. Wir waren mit unserem Hyundai Kona dort.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Morgan

We've enjoyed many travels ourselves over the years and stayed in many hotels. Often great but sometimes misery when we would have preferred the comfort & privacy of our own apartment or town house! Putting all this into good practice in our solid and beautiful Silver Crescent Townhouse & Coach House in Galway City, we consistently offer superbly high standards to the active traveller in top notch and welcoming home-from-home environments.

For 1 to 2 weeks and more, we are here - working hard to maintain the things that count – fresh & clean homes, top quality finishes, services & utilities, fine fresh bed linens, duvets & pillows, beds fully made up, fridge freshly stocked with Useful Items, and our Local Guides on where to go and what to do!

At Your Time in Ireland you will quickly settle in to get going with your activities - wonderful trips & tours, activities, explorations, excellent town walks and small adventures - out and about Galway & the West of Ireland!

Why they chose this property

Our top notch short stay options are just 5 mins away from the liveliest quarters of Town yet peaceful and quiet for a great night’s sleep.
Galway City is alive with visitors, restaurants, cafes, and unique traditional Irish pubs and live music and you will have made an excellent choice by staying with us on The Crescent.
Galway is a great town! - the capital city of Connacht is a bustling, lively and creative university city that sits at the end of Lough Corrib and the River Corrib as it wends its way to the Atlantic Ocean. Long a busy merchant town with a serious maritime tradition and backdrop, Galway’s trading history can be seen in town canals, water breaks & salmon weirs, pier heads, and sea-side promenades and walkways, plus rich ancient woodlands that survive in precious pockets around the town.
Our location on The Crescent is part of this older world of Galway going back to the early 1830’s - when trains ran to Clifden, and a tramline ran from Eyre Square via The Crescent to the seaside promenades of Salthill.
Our Town Apartments are located in and elegant Townhouse some 160 years standing, and we do everything we can to maintain the ambience of this lovely old period house accompanied by some beautiful & contemporary touches and features of today.

Plus! -
• excellent Supermarket, Liquour & Wine Store just 2 mins away
