Enjoyable Stay

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. We particularly loved the location. Very close to several lively pubs and eateries but far enough away to be v quiet. The apartment was spotlessly clean, the kitchen well equipped the bed comfortable.. Minor quibbles, the duvet was a bit thin and it would have been nice to have a shower mat to avoid slipping

I preferred this location as we were just outside the Latin Quarter, just a few minutes walk. Communication was great and assistance was prompt if anything was needed. Also, Tesco is just at the end of the street, making it that much easier to get the necessary goods.

Lovely place to stay in Galway

The townhouse was a perfect place for me to stay. I was working and exploring at the same time. Everything I needed was available and everywhere I wanted to go I was able to walk. I loved the heated floors in the bathroom. The townhome is located right outside of all the action so you could come home and it was quiet. Thank you for letting me stay!

Cute West End gem!

Loved the location, always felt safe and it was quiet at night for sleeping. Within a short walk to groceries, post office, and Galway city center. We enjoyed great pubs, quality restaurants and musical nights right around the corner on Sea Road. Salthill area beaches were lovely and not overly far if you like a good morning walk. Apartment was on first floor, only 2 steps to get in. It was the perfect size for us two older adults. Had every appliance and linen we needed. Host and Caretaker very responsive to any questions.

Perfect location in Galway

Coach House was beautiful property and walking distance to everything. Property managers were very responsive and kind. Being from the US there were a few things we had to figure out, like holding door handle up to lock the door and emptying out a water chamber in the dryer, but those were truly the only blips and that was just lack of knowledge on my part. This would be a great rental for families or couples. All bedrooms are upstairs so not handicap accessible. The huge tub in the upstairs bathroom was awesome. So glad we got to experience Galway and have this lovely property to come back to after exploring.

Quiet ease

I was looking for a place to write and walk about Galway. This was a great location and VERY quiet! Expect a mile walk to get most places but there was a fantastic little pub three blocks away with nightly music by local friends sitting together, not a tourist place. I chose this place to be sort of near the train station but not in the heart of the city. It was a short Uber ride, too long to walk with a suitcase unless your quite fit or the wheels of your suitcase are quite sturdy, more to the point. It's two blocks from the standard kind of grocery market. So while I didn't have a selection of all the foods I would have chosen, it was happily adequate and I made my meals to focus on being in a little writing pod. The son of the owner helped me get the keys that were not in the lock box and was quite gracious and available. Small and adequate, big bed, and a lovely washer dryer and the floor between the toilet and shower was Warmed from beneath which was wonderful in December when I visited!

Galway is always fun

i arrived at the property on Thursday Oct 5. I could not find any information in my emails and messages with the owner regarding entering the apt. I called the phone number provided on the emails a few times with nobody answering. I also sent another private message with no response. I then used another device to check my email. I found the PDF files with the check in info. The problem now was that it was raining and difficult to see the numbers on the lock. After 30 minutes or more, i was able to get in. I really wish the check in info was in an email, and not an attatchment. As far as the apt gors, it was great. It has everything that you need. It's clean, cozy and convenient. The bed is comfortable, the livingroom is relaxing and overall it is what you need. Tesco supermarket is close by and Galway town is 10 minutes walk. I would stay here again on my next trip to Galway. P.S. The washer/dryer is a bonus.
