Convenient but not great
My family stayed here for 4 nights while in Galway.
The apartment itself is outdated, run down and in need of some serious TLC.
It was a convenient location that enabled us to make the most out of our time in Galway.
I did not have any interaction with management after the booking process.
The "timer" for the hot water is absurd. 4 people trying to take showers and unable to do so. The "boost" for the hot water heater did not seem to work. I did not call management (we were so busy and rarely in the apartment other than to shower/sleep).
Initially we wanted to utilize the kitchen and cook while in Galway but the kitchen does not have the necessary items (there were 3 glasses in the entire kitchen). I purchased a sheet pan while there just to make breakfast. No biggie.
The laundry closet (and I mean closet) was NOT great.
The dryer does not dry appropriately - and there are rules about having clothes dry on the balcony.
There is no air conditioning. I realize many areas in Ireland do not. The other places I stayed DID.
The view of the bay is fantastic. It was the best part of the stay.
It is a high tourist/traffic area and is noisy. I was prepared for that based on other reviews. Having to sleep with the windows open (due to the temperature and no A/C) makes the noise issue even worse.
It was nice to see the GARDA station (police station) behind the building. Made us feel safer as the area does seem to be sketchy.
Overall enjoyed Galway.
