Beautiful Townhouse, 3DBr-sleeps 6 Adults. Special & Unique in Galway City!
This place is a gem! Clean, bright and cute with all amenities and walking distance to everything, yet privately tucked away. The hosts were accommodating and friendly and left nice welcoming touches. We had 3 couples in our party and it never felt cramped. We would definitely rent the coach house ...

West end Apartments Galway
Check-in was hard to find (it is in the Casino). There was no hot water and it was not very clean. They have not refunded our 200 Euro deposit, and they will not respond to emails. All of this aside, the location is very convenient. We were able to walk everywhere.
