The property is in a great location with beautiful views. The only issues we had were there was never enough hot water for 4 people to shower and the internet was non existent.

Check in was easy, just called Sean and he appeared from nowhere. Sean is a really nice guy and loves to share Irish history. Apartment was exactly as described. This is not a fancy place but it's perfect for those who want a place close to the action and the view of the bay was incredible. This apartment includes 1 parking space in a covered and secured parking lot. Within a short walking distance of O'Connor's Pub and a few eating spots. I do not recommend Galleon Restaurant or the Brazilian restaurant in the Galway Business School (Can't remember the name). It rained our entire stay, so walking to restaurants on Quay Street was a bit far and out of the question for our group.
