What a fabulous place to stay if you’re visiting Galway. Liz was an extremely gracious host and actually spent some time with me while I was there. I met two of her children as well. The apartment was beautiful, everything you need is there and the proximity to fun things was great. Hopefully I can stay there another time as well.

Check in worked smoothly with a printed version of the thorough directions (not great for reading off a phone). The interior of the apartment had everything we needed and plenty of wonderful books and visiting guides. The apartment is perfectly located next to public transportation and within walking distance of the west end and Latin Quarter.

The apartment was absolutely perfect, the car park was really handy to have (although a tight squeeze to get into it so be confident with your driving), the apartment was so much better than the pictures and a perfect spot for exploring Galway, we were close enough to the hustle and bustle without being kept up by it into the late hours. The kitchen had everything we needed (despite not using it as we enjoyed some fab food out in Galway), the living area was good and you could get Netflix on the TV if you wanted, the bed was comfy and enough space to hang all our clothes up for the weekend!Towels were provided and apartment was spotlessWould 100% recommend to anyone staying in Galway!

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

Absolutely Stellar

This apartment exceeded all of our expectations. It was spacious, very well equipped, and walking distance from everything. The bathroom is large, and the washer and dryer are in excellent condition. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to make a full meal at home. The living room has a spacious sitting area, and the bed is very comfortable. Oh, and did I mention the heated bathroom floor - like heaven on your feet after a long day... We are quite well travelled, and I can say without hesitation that this is one of the nicest VRBO's we've stayed in. I would highly recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Morgan

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

Settle quickly into a perfect and welcoming traditional Irish Townhouse - beds all made up, fridge stocked, and generous Welcome Basket of groceries in place.
Plus! -
• excellent Supermarket, Liquour & Wine Store just 2 mins away
• excellent strolls & shopping in the lively town center just 5 minutes away
• superbly located for enjoying Galway Intl Theatre Festival, Galway Intl Film Festival, many Theatre productions, Arts events, and Choral/ Rock/Classical Concerts on throughout the year
• an abundance of excellent Restaurants - just 2 to 5 mins away
• beautiful interesting walks throughout town and surrounding places
• many warm and inviting Irish pubs & live music - just 2 to 5 mins away
• fabulous walks to the Claddagh or Salthill Village with 8km of seaside promenades there!
• wonderful Trips & Guided Tours to Connemara & the Burren to book into
• excellent Sporting & Equestrian events to attend throughout the year!
• University & Galway’s Major Hospital just 5 mins away
• All this and much more…
