Latin Quarter holiday rentals

We brought our teenage children back to Galway for Christmas. The journey from Australia is always long but getting easier as they grow older. The house is magnificent and the hospitality even better. Maire is generous in more ways than one. Her furnishings are the best. Fabulous antiques, well placed and functional. Beautiful sofas, king size beds, crystal champagne glasses and fabulous lamps to illuminate it all. Her bed linen is of the highest quality and plentiful. The location of the house is perfect for a 10 minute stroll into town or 5 minutes to Salthill and the Prom. We will definitely book this house when next in Galway and recommend you do the same. You will not be disappointed.

We chose this property because our extended family was coming to Ireland for a family wedding. The website advertised that it could accommodate 10 people and it probably could if you just counted the number of beds. Everything was immaculate; the location is terrific; we enjoyed our stay very much. Our numbers were down from the original 10 to eight at max. Even then we were a tight squeeze in the very limited living area. The property may sleep 10 but there is nowhere for 10 people to sit down and eat together. There is a breakfast bench but no table. I should have realised this from looking at the photographs on the website but I didn’t. This and some eccentric plumbing were the only drawbacks. The location is perfect and I would certainly choose the area again but with a smaller group. Attention from the owner was a big plus.

This is the 2nd time we stayed in Shane's apartment, and we will hopefully stay again when and if we are back in Galway. Location is perfect - just across the road from the best music pub in Galwy (The Crane Bar) and above one of the best restaurants in the city (the Mona Lisa). It's in the West End, which is still very close to the centre, but a bit less hectic. And the apartment itself is very quite, being in the back of the building. Very fast internet (I measured 75 MB/s download). There is no on-site parking, but Shane provides visitor parking permits that allow street parking close by. Thank you Shane (again) for a great stay.
