Great location
Nice centralized cozy (no more than 2) apartment. Rental included breakfast food, which was bought and delivered after our arrival. The alley back to the parking area was a bit of a challenge since we had an SUV not a compact car but just added to our "adventure" in Ireland! :D

Top Notch Apt is everything they advertise -- obviously a plus in this market. Our apt was on the ground floor, sitting room/lounge with nice sized kitchen, good sized bedroom, laundry room and ensuite, nice sized shower -- skylight! Apt was well cleaned when we arrived, caretaker on site for any problems, we had none. Large grocery store two short blocks away, Short walking distance to the Latin Quarter of Galway City with tons of dining and shopping, excellent location. There are other tenants in the building, including commercial businesses so internet access was spotty during the day (sometimes nonexistent), but we were usually out so not a big hardship and we no problems at night. But such are the vagaries of any high use time in my experience. Before noon and after 5 were fine. We would definitely stay here again.

Privacy plus Convenience
The apartment was a perfect place to get to know Galway. We felt safe, found it conveniently located (important as we were on foot) and enjoyed how well equipped it was. A washer and dryer even! Caretakers were responsive and available. It was absolutely clean, roomy and comfortable. Would happily stay again.

Super Hostess
When our Airbnb was cancelled a week before arriving in Galway, it was a nightmare. I found Cathy’s listing and was relieved that she had a solution for us. She bent over backwards to make it work for 5 adults with such short notice. The apartment worked beautifully for us. Great location and comfortable space for all to gather. We were so grateful.

Amazing location, excellent host!
We had a great stay over St. Paddy’s day! There was a hiccup with VRBO not notifying Cathy we were coming (which is why I docked a star, this is more for VRBO than the apartment), but she jumped on it immediately and had the apartment cleaned and stocked within two hours of our unexpected arrival! She was able to coordinate all of this from Los Angeles, at 8pm on the Saturday night before St. Paddy’s day. The apartment is in a very convienent location, 2 minute walk to the Crane Bar and 10 min walk to the Latin quarter. Everything worked great, the heated bathroom floors were a great surprise!! Hope we get to visit again soon!
