The property overlooked the parade at the Spanish Arch overlooking the Carribe River. Beautiful location, very convenient to everything. I would recommend this property. Bright, airy, clean. Totally enjoyed our stay.
As presented. Clean, safe area with incredible views. Beds were very comfortable and everything in the apartment was modern and pristine. Easy walk from train station. Centrally located. Would book again.
The apartment has a beautiful view. It’s close to the Spanish Arch which is located near Shop Street, the quay, coastal walk and river walk. Lots of restaurants and cafes in easy walking distance.
Communication with the host company was excellent. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again in f we come to Galway.
The location was excellent. We were right in town next to the water at the base of the Latin Quarter. We walked to dinner each night. The Cliffs of Moher were 1 hour and 30 minutes away. We had a wonderful time.
We had an amazing time in Galway and this rental was a big part of it. The apartment is very beautiful, spacious, modern and extremely clean. The location is terrific: we walked from the train station and were a super quick walk to everything we wanted to do. The Latin quarter is literally across the street. Our hosts were quick to respond to questions and check in/out was easy. We loved our stay and highly recommend it!
The view was amazing and the place had everything we needed. It is a great location too. The only issue was trying to get the keys out of the lockbox in the pouring rain … and the first shower was a little cold . But if you read all the information they provide everything is explained. Would stay again !
Amazing location (perfect for walking around Galway and catching Aran Islands ferry), lovely apartment with all the amenities we wanted, great check-in/check-out system, and good communication with manager. For those not used to living in a city, you might hear some noise from folks walking by late at night (it's a quiet location, so even conversations stand out), but nothing out of the ordinary or even that loud. Would highly recommend!
Apartment was great. Kitchen well stocked.
Great location in city center! You will need to park first then unload. Info that may be helpful- we stayed in July, Thursday-Sunday and the Spanish arch area below the apartment was extremely busy and loud. People late into the night and 6:00 am workers and machines with noisy birds all the time! We were a group of 4 older adults. We still enjoyed our stay!
Our apartment had, as stated, a Romeo & Juliet balcony facing the water. The apartment was nice although trying to find it using car navigation is problematic as when you arrive using the street adress, it is really on the other side of a building to the right of a Chinese/Thai restaurant. There is an outside gate with keypad and another lockbox with the keys to the building door and apartment door. Be sure and watch your email before arriving for the details. Apartment was as promised. The location is very good as you are about 1 block from a grocery and 2 - 3 blocks from the Spanish Quarter entertainment area (plenty of pubs, music, restaurants, bars, shopping, etc.
The stay was very enjoyable for the most part.
The good:
1. Cleanliness
2. Location
3. “Escape room” entrance
(Note: for key pick up, etc. , follow the instructions!)
4. Laundry facilities were good
5. Kitchen utensils/glassware excellent
6. Shower pressure very good
7. Local market right below our rooms!
8. Open kitchen/dining/lounge area was great
9. Romeo/Juliette balcony
10. Security
Not so good:
1. En suite sink was plugged - took 2 nights for it to be useable!
2. Logistics of sharing only 1set of keys (!?) between 2 couples, made throwing them from our balcony to the roommates, was crazy and unnecessary. Eg. if you were going in early and left the key in the entrance lockbox for your roommates to use later, you couldn’t because you couldn’t get yourself in once the keys were locked up…! A second set of keys is a critical shortcoming of this VRBO.
3. Clothes dryer very finicky.
Rooms are quite hot (with not heater turned on. Had to leave windows open for air. Rain came/wind blew continually in the windows/balcony.
All in all, would stay here again.
8.5/10
This place was in the heart of Galway. Shops, restaurants, and pubs were within short walking distance. This place is first class, our best rental while touring Ireland.
Great location, close to everything in Latin quarter! Very clean, very communicative staff. Dryer didn’t work so the offered to pick up our laundry for us and return after it had been cleaned. Beautiful condo overlooking the Spanish arch. We had easy access to everything.
An absolutely wonderful place to call home during any visit to Galway. Will be my go-to on all return visits.

Disliked: Check-in
It was centrally located, but noisy at night. There were some issues with the washer/dryer, the toilet and the parking was not communicated well. The furnishings were clean, but cheap.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
This place has a great location but a little hard to find. It is located above a restaurant. Parking is not next to property and you need to pay at another garage with a 5 minute walk. It had coffee for first day only. It took a while to get a response to questions . Loved the view and living area.
