Bucket List Trip to Ireland

The four bedrooms were perfect for offering privacy when needed and a nice living room for when we wanted to be together.

Great location in Galway

The big pros of this place are location and size! A once in a lifetime trip with adult children/spouses and this space was large enough for the 7 of us and it is close enough to walk to public transit around Ireland. Easy to communicate with and check in/check out easy. Part of our group ended up delayed by a day but part of us made it and check in and communication was everything! Please note that by American standards the bathrooms/showers are small but there are enough that the space works and the common space was really appreciated. We would stay here again if we go with a large group. Thanks for a good time in Galway!

The communication with the host from start to finish was exceptional. The home was clean and had everything we needed. The location we felt was great. The grocery store was a short walk down street. The bus stops were just a few doors down and across the street. This was so convenient as we did not rent a car. We were very happy with our stay.

Great location and great size. Everything needed is close enough to walk too. Did need blankets and only had one extra but we survived besides that no complaints.

Great location to Galway centre

Well located with 10 -15 minute walk to the hopping Latin Quarter and pub and groceries a few minutes walk away. Great parking options as we had 2 cars, laundry available and basic but functional kitchen. Basic amenities but great spot for our trip to Galway. Great communication from hosts and I would highly recommend.

Giddy in Galway

We loved this Galway house that hosted our family for our 3 night stay. We traveled with 8 people. 3 of the bedrooms had an en-suite, providing maximum privacy for our large group.

When we arrived. The house was no longer available. The host claimed they contacted me about taking it off VRBO. But they never sent an email. VRBO staff assisted me in finding another place to stay with my family. It was a hotel Clayton The place was nice. Just wish it could’ve been a house. But it sufficed for last minute

Galway weekend

3 mature couples for a brief weekend in Galway . Friday pm until Sunday am . Great weekend albeit too brief . Hospitality excellent . The house was comfortable and convenient for town centre . The main photo is slightly misleading as the bay window is not part of the let . It’s part of a seperate property. The house is spacious enough for 6 and could sleep 9 if needs be . The en suite shower rooms were a real bonus .

Great location but house not what we expected

Host very pleasant. Location excellent. But a few issues with house. No tv channels, lack of mirrors, towels and seating in sitting room for a house for 9 people. Kitchen too small and dark to prepare meals in and not possible for 9 guests to eat in. External images are not of the house but the apartment to the rear.

gorgeous view and lots of bathrooms!

views from the house are gorgeous. location is perfect; walkable to just about all of Galway. but out far enough to have very little noise and foot traffic. we were able to walk from the dublin/galway bus depot (10-15 minutes). To Eyre square (20 minutes). we have rented other homes in Ireland and almost always are short of bathrooms (most homes have 3-4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms). I was traveling with my adult siblings so 4 bathrooms was fantastic! the home is modern, efficient and spare. a few reviews mentioned the lack of coffee maker, also no blow dryer. but when I asked about the blow dryer, one was sent over the same day💚. so a few of the warmer touches aren’t there (yet), but the beds are quite comfy. the amount of windows and light is cheerful. we didn’t do much cooking so can’t speak to kitchen set up. but overall: we would rent it again!

The location was perfect. Close enough to walk to City Centre, if we wanted. Views wonderful

The 5 bedrooms provided enough privacy but the living room was a great gathering place. It was very clean and fully equipped kitchen. We loved stepping out on the deck, looking at the water. The hosts were so friendly and available to assist if needed. . I would definitely stay at this property again and recommend to all looking to stay in Galway
