Very good

Overall, we had a great experience! The property was a wonderful spot for our family, and we especially loved being within walking distance of downtown Galway. The exterior photos in the listing were not of the actual property, but that wasn’t a big deal for us. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but the location more than made up for it. The host was fantastic and communicated very well throughout our stay. We really enjoyed our time in Galway. Thank you so much for a great stay!
Loved Galway. This was a great location to walk to restaurants and shops. Wish we had stayed longer. Parking is a bit challenging for dropping off luggage.
We loved the location — just down the street from the square. Easy access to some of the best pubs in Galway! The decor was delightful. It was very easy to pop around the corner to Tesco for some snacks and beverages.And we had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great location for exploring Galway, and the host was courteous. Unfortunately, the condition of the property significantly affected our stay.The primary bedroom had a strong cigarette/smoke odor that made it unusable for us, and there was visible mold/growth around the ceiling. With five people staying in the property, this meant we had to share the other bedroom for most of our three-night stay. The bed in the primary room is also a full, making it a tight squeeze if you’re a family who planned to put kids in the second bedroom.We also found cobwebs and significant dust/debris around the bathroom vent, water damage/discoloration in the kitchen, a musty smell in the living room, dirty dishes and glass recycling that had not been removed.We documented the issues with photos and contacted the host during the stay. We didn’t believe the issues could be resolved during the length of our stay, and preferred not to have a cleaning crew onsite experimenting while we were out exploring the city. The host apologized and refunded 20% of our stay, while noting that they didn’t believe there were smoke, mildew or mold issues. I sent photos to confirm the mold/mildew and it was not acknowledged.The location was genuinely good, but losing the use of one of two bedrooms was a uncomfortable or our family, and the combination of cleanliness and maintenance problems made this a disappointing stay. Future guests should confirm that these issues have been addressed before booking.
The house is beautiful clean and modern. Check in is easy and communication with management was convenient. 2 keys would have been nice

Convenient location, well equipped
The location is convenient to get to many shops and restaurants. The home was well equipped. We enjoyed our stay except the front (double) bedroom's street noise was so loud we struggled to sleep in there. The back bedroom was spacious with 3 beds and much quieter.
We spent very little time in that apartment. But everything was as described. Galway is a smaller city than I thought, and everything was in walking distance. Great location, great accomodations and having a washer/dryer was a godsend.
Very nice house near by the center and a parking zone, which is very close to a supermarket (Lidl) so you can combine shopping and the daily extend the parking ticket 🙂. The washer/dryer was broken and we informed the staff via email. In general the communication with the host was superb.
Great place to stay! Exactly what was offered and very nice inside. House was very tidy and everything was just as the pictures depicted. Yes it is a tad older but has a sweet flare. It was wonderful having space downstairs and bedrooms/bathroom upstairs. Location was an easy walk to all the fun spots. Checkin was a breeze. Communication and instructions were flawless. Only cons- unloading bags. If an open spot close by isn’t open you should plan on rolling bags about a US city block. Back yard is tired and no where to sit to have morning coffee but that didn’t matter to us. Couldn’t lock primary door or bathroom. Parking lot recommended was offline and finding parking was about a mile away. No problem for us as we travel light and didn’t mind the walk. Big pros - Bathroom was very clean and towels provided were so nicely placed on or beds - with body wash and shampoo. Washer dryer was terrific and soap pods provided too! No noise from the street at all. Frankly, I was shocked at that. Kitchen was very clean and little biscuits with tea and coffee were ready for us to enjoy. Wish we could have stay longer - we even tried to book another night. Would highly recommended booking this charming home.
Comfortable setting and walking distance to Ayer Square - Galway
Loved the vibe of this city house. Decor was stunning and it was so comfortable. Don't judge this house by the street it is on. It is busy, but remember you are in the heart of Galway. And Galway's heart is huge. To be close to it, is an honor. We did deal with a broken latch on the washing machine but were offered laundry services which we took avail of as we have been travelling through the south of Ireland. Laundry was delivered to us the next day - thanks! Would definitely stay again. Thanks for offering up this charming home.

Horrible
Totally misrepresented on listing. Location is good, then down hill. Walk out back, trash bags by patio , unsealed and debris laying in yard. Mold on bathroom walls, not enough hot water for occupancy... but the kicker was the vines growing inside kitchen sliding glass doors, over 4 feet, into kitchen. Would have preferred a tent

Unfortunately would not stay again
We were very excited for our stay in this property, but unfortunately we would not stay here again. The home is furnished nicely (albeit very unique decor) and the location is convenient for walking around Galway. However, the home is located on a very very busy road and street noise can be heard inside. Check in was smooth, but there is only one key for the home. The washer/dryer was broken. We reported this to the property manager almost immediately after check in. She finally told me that they knew the washer was broken (though we were not told in advance) and they were waiting on a part. Due to this inconvenience, they offered to take our laundry and wash it. Our laundry was not collected until midday the following day! Communication is difficult with this management company. Another thing that made us very upset was the listing advertised that there were 2 bathrooms (one with a shower and toilet and one with a toilet). There certainly were NOT 2 bathrooms. I had to ask about this multiple times before the property management company addressed the fact that there never has been 2 bathrooms in this home. That is one of the main reason we booked this specific property! Overall not a great experience.
The property is reasonably well located as promised, 4 blocks above Eyre Square, and that is the end of the positive aspects.
The property opens directly onto a major thoroughfare that is busy with traffic at all hours. The doors & window are ancient wood-framed originals that offer no insulation, sound or otherwise. We were bothered by noise at all hours: this included conversations of passers by - it was as if they were in our room!
The place is in desparate need of renovation: the flooring is old, dirty & stained. The main floor offers old linoleum over cold concrete and upstairs the subfloor is uneven & creaky, and the carpet cheap sand threadbare. The place is furnished with what appears to be the cheapest second hand furniture available: worn, mismatched and uncomfortable. To be fair, the army of ants in the front room had no complaints.
The kitchen does feature a new refrigerator and washer, but the washer didn't work. Also, there is no dishwasher, so valuable time is wasted doing dishes each day. The kitchen is half-finished with cabinetry and cheap particle board shelves. Cleaning supplies were left in plain sight of the guests, beside the kitchen table. There is a back patio that could actually be quite nice, if the owners cared to clean it up. Instead it is an overgrown mess and gives the feeling of a derilect property. We felt like we were staying within a recent crime scene.
There is no check in support whatsoever. I received an email with instructions only, but there was no one around to greet us on arrival or assist us when we needed it.
We received only one house key (I've never experienced that elsewhere) and when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the suite in arrival, no one answered our repeated calls for help. I had to resolve the situation on my own. I never did get a call from ownership, only an email the next day. Days later, in as limited way, the ower was apologetic of everything but offered only a nominal adjustment on the bill. (It amounted to less than the cost of one night.)
My impression here is that there is no pride in ownership or commitment to the property, guests or the business. The physical state of the place confirms that opinion, especially when combined with the level of support and presence and accessibility of the ownership group. I've stayed in several VRBO properties in Ireland & England and this was the worst experience I've had - I recommend you avoid this place.

Basic, mostly functional apartment in decent Galway location
The needs of our family of four were met in this apartment, but I would not again stay in what seemed like a company-managed property.
The furnishings were the cheapest possible and the manager was nowhere to be found when a broken washing machine was reported.
Our stay was fine and we enjoyed our short walks into the city center, but I have to imagine there are better choices out there.
Great Location, walking distance to Downtown Galway
This place, has enough room to sleep six adults and an infant. It’s in a great location walking distance to down town. The place was clean and had working washer/dryer combo.

Excellent place to stay in Galway
Great place to stay! Easy walk to City Centre and we even walked to the train station with our bags the day we moved on. Pub directly across the street and many locations to eat very close by. Hostess responded very quickly to any and all of my questions and was by far the best communicator of the 4 places we stayed on this trip. If your looking for 5 star accommodations then you may want to pass, if your looking for a place to stow your bags, get a good nights sleep and have some coffee in the morning before heading off on your days adventure then this is the exact place you want. Wifi worked well, cant speak to the TV as we didnt even turn it on. Definitely would stay here again.

bien placé mais bruyant et vieillot
nous avons passé 5 jours dans cet appartement, il est superbement bien placé, à proximité immédiate du centre, de la gare et de la gare routière, le tout atteignable à pied. Par contre ce logement est situé sur une route à grand trafic très bruyante. Le salon est sombre, la cuisine est grande et donne sur une petite cour qui serait sympa si elle était bien aménagée ce qui n'est pas le cas. A l'étage la chambre "parentale" est bruyante car elle donne sur la rue, et les meubles sont en mauvais état. la chambre "enfants" est jolie, bien aménagée, lumineuse et tranquille. La salle de bains est correct, sans plus. Il y a un certain nombre de choses qui sont usées et qui mériteraient d'être améliorées voire changées pour rendre ce logement plus agréable.

Good location, short walk into town
The property is in a very good location for walking distance into town and access to pubs and restaurants, which is great after a full day of touring, and having parking across the street is ideal. The house is well equipped to use as a home base while you explore the sites. The host are excellent at staying in contact with information on how to access the property and the lock box for keys comes in very handy for early or late arrivals as well as to keep the keys in if people are coming and going at different times, no one gets locked out.
Thank you for the use of your lovely home.

The host was gracious. The place was clean. The location was perfect.
We really enjoyed our stay. The location of this place is fabulous. If you don't mind being in the middle of the city, this is your place. A bit loud at night, but it is to be expected given the location.

Perfect location
We were greeted upon arrival by Susan who was very friendly and welcoming, she even picked up some coffee, tea, milk, and an apple pie for us! The unit was perfectly sized for the five of us. Wifi worked with no issues, and although we didn't cook in the kitchen it was well appointed. The real highlight is the walkability to the train, the coach station, Eyre Square, and the Latin Quarter. We were able to fully enjoy our three days without having to rent a car. A bonus is the nice pub across the street where we could relax with a pint after a long day of touring.
