Lovely stay
We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment, it was clean, comfortable and with a great location and view! The host was very kind and welcoming, however, it was a bit hard to get ahold of him before we arrived (failure to pick up the phone number provided, had to try several times), other than that, perfect!

Great stay in an excellent location
We spent three nights here and really enjoyed our time. The apartment was clean and checking in and out was a breeze. The location is walkable to a lot of restaurants and is just a short walk to the Latin Quarter. There is also a small Tesco just up the street. But the killer feature of this place is the amazing view out across Galway Bay. Pictures don’t do it justice, it is spectacular. Thanks for a great stay!

Great location - comfortable accommodation.
Beautiful view of the ocean from the kitchen and deck. Spacious apartment with everything we needed. Two good sized rooms with comfortable beds and a bathroom for each bedroom. A short walk to town (25mins) through scenic areas. Coffee/breakfast shop right next door was really handy. Sean and his son were really helpful and available to answer any questions. Laundry is very different - not like at home. I couldn't get it to work properly so waited 2hrs for a small load to wash and it never did spin properly or dry so I ended up hanging it in the apartment using the rack provided. It worked out okay - just wasn't what I was expecting. We'd stay there again.

Great location and lots of room. Cannot beat the view!
It is in perfect location. A 20 minute walk to Galway center, but gives you the quiet and calmness provided by view of beach. Also have convenience of restaurants/shops in Salt Hill. There is plenty of room in the apartments - we spent a month and never felt cramped. Very clean. Not luxurious but gives you everything you need. Owner very responsive if needed.

Beautiful view, comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and close to restaurants. The walking path was so lovely nearby, and Morton’s grocery had incredible bread and pastries. Our only disappointment lay with the spare cooking tools. It was great to have a washer and dryer. We would come back again.

Great Salthill location!
Great communication and very friendly hosts. Fourth floor apartment has amazing view and a great balcony (as seen in the photo). Good location right on the end of the salthill area, so its quick walk to salthill restaurants and shops as well as to Galway City shopping. Apartment is very clean and tidy. Water heater is a bit interactive, but once you get the hang if it all works well for a morning shower or two. Really enjoyed our stay😀

Absolutely loved this apartment in salthill. Our apartment had a massive balcony overlooking the water…pure bliss having a coffee every morning & evening with such a view. The apartment more than suited our needs with 2 bedrooms both with their own bathrooms and spacious living area, which was very clean. Perfect location in salthill area, few mins walk to local bars, shops, restaurants. Very friendly hosts and looking forward to returning again next year

Great location and view. Meh on the rest.
The location is perfect. Great bars and bakery a block away. Just a 20 minute walk into Galway city core. The furnishings however are very poor. Reminded me of being 20 and staying in dorms. Everyone in my group is over 40 and are acustomed to nice beds. These were untollerable. The couches were just as bad. We like having a comfortable place to explore from and this was not comfortable. Would not stay again on that account.

Great location and accomadations!
Travel is a bit challenging at the moment (Summer 2022) and we were delayed by ~7 hours and arrived after 1AM. We were greeted kindly by Sean, the apartment manager, and shown to our room and helped to make sure we understood how everything worked as we are from the US and the systems are different. We also had no luggage... and didn't for 4 days. We were there for a conference and when the driver called to say he was at the apartment with the bags (our first contact with the airlines in those days), we were away at a conference dinner. We called Sean and he met the driver and took the bags into the room. You may think, well, this is typical. However, we have stayed at many, many apartments over the years and have not had this type of rapid help on as many fronts as we did in this challenging week without our belongings. Thankfully, the apartment was clean and comfortable and the views were incredible. There was also a washer/dryer unit that came in extremely handy as we had to wash clothes daily because... we had no luggage. :-/ So, we were able to drink tea and coffee (which were provided on day one with milk!), take a breath and watch the tide roll in and out. The grocery store and bus stop was literally a 3 minute walk and we often just walked into town (15-20 minutes) if the weather held. Highly, highly recommend staying here if in Galway for business, pleasure, or both.
