Beautiful Place - needs a little TLC
I stayed in this penthouse three years ago with another family and it was amazing so we decided to go back this Christmas. The location is great and the communication with the rental agent is also excellent. The place needs some TLC. It needs a repaint and there's a lot of outstanding maintenance including the front door that brings the overall look of the place down. For 1400 for one night the owner should be able to afford to do some ongoing maintenance to keep the five star reviews rolling in.

Not ideal for couples
While the condo has quite a bit of space, the beds were small and uncomfortable. Only the master has a king bed. Overall, the furnishings were dated and lacking. The advertisement gives the appearance that condo is luxurious but in reality it is just average. Location was great and if you are just a family with two adults and kids, it will work just fine. However, for multiple couples, you would be better off getting hotel rooms.

Great Stay
My family and I had a great stay in Galway. There were 7 of us in total and the apartment had plenty of space for all of us to be comfortable. The location is fantastic. Just a few minutes walk from the train station, and right in the heat of Galway! Shops, supermarkets, everything in a right there. The view of Galway Bay is amazing! We will definitely be back when when we return to Galway!

Fantastic place to stay with family
We stayed here for one night on a family vacation to Ireland. We had 10 people (two families) and fit perfectly. There are four rooms. One has four beds - great for kids. One has a queen and twin, another a queen, and the last a queen and twin. All comfy. There is an amazing balcony to watch ships come by. And perfectly located. Getting in was easy and communications were great. We wished we had stayed there longer.

Wonderful view & Walking distance to Galway
We had a lovely stay in Galway! Amazing views of the harbor. Easy walking to all the shopping areas in Galway. Great restaurants and coffee shops close by. Wonderful morning walks along the bay. We had a group of 11. 14-76 year olds in our group and I would say that the futons were too small and uncomfortable for the teenagers and adults. Perfect for young children. We ended up having two kids sleep on the couches and one sucked it up on the futon. It sleeps 8 adults comfortably, just be aware that anymore adult sized people than that aren’t going to have comfortable sleeping conditions. This however did not hinder the fun of anyone in the group and we had a lovely time! I would highly recommend this place. It’s clean, well appointed, and close to everything. The host was lovely and very helpful with getting us checked in. Even messaged to make sure we were all good.

Location location
The apartment is in ideal location to Galway city, overlooking docks. It’s big and spacious to comfortably fit extended family. Its ‘luxury’ status has probably seen better days with many features of interest either not working or no manual/ guides to support you in getting them to work. If you are looking for a high end finish keep looking, if you are getting people together, exploring Galway this is your spot.

Bugs and dirty!
We stayed over Christmas. We arrived Dec 23rd and had a very easy checkin process. The first thing we noticed was the long black hair in the bathtub. Then dirty duvet covers - no sheets. There was so much hair inside the bed it was obvious the linens were not washed. They couldn’t fit in the tiny washing machine. We used the extra /hopefully clean duvet covers and blankets. I sent a text message to the women who checked us in to let her know. Christmas Eve. The woman who checked us in messaged me and asked that we communicate through WhatsApp. I told her we found a workaround for dirty linens and no need to ruin her Christmas. We could deal with this after. That night, we found bugs/silverfish in the big bathroom. We had not seen any bugs up to that point. There was no bug spray and the stores were closed. We tried vinegar and found the floors were filthy as the towel we used was black. I messaged the host. No reply. Christmas Day. We saw silverfish in the living room as well as the bathroom. My daughter’s new white Christmas socks were black after wearing them inside for a few hours. There were dirty dishes in cabinets. Plates with food on them!! Not dried on food but bits of food. I messaged the host again. Dec 26 - bugs everywhere! When we sprayed bug spray we found a balloon, and a pill along with layers of dirt under/along furniture. The apartment is outdated and dirty. Host never replied. I reported listing to VRBO.

Family trip to Ireland
Nineteen Minnesota family members traveled to Ireland and we had 3 separate apartments. I stayed here with my son, 2 daughters and their husbands. It is a beautiful space, tastefully decorated and well stocked with everything we needed. The location is fantastic and we so enjoyed walking to shops, pubs and restaurants as well as watching the ship traffic in the port. Our host/ contacts were extremely helpful and responded quickly to any question we had.

RENT ELSEWHERE - USELESS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT - CLEANLINESS AN ISSUE
This hugely overpriced apartment is mismanaged by the VRBO property manager who refused to freely communicate with us on problems the whole time we rented. We strongly recommend that you find another place for your vacation. Upon arrival we were left outside the building for over an hour before a housekeeper was sent to let us into the place. On the surface the place looked clean but we discovered: the dirt and grime in the jacuzzi and washing machine, the old seagull dried droppings covering the balcony's glass and floor, undefrosted frig freezer, dirty pots and pans in kitchen cabinets, ironing board and drying rack propped up in the entryway, wrong size bedding in the master bedroom. We tried in vain the entire week we rented to reach the property manager.

This apartment is the best location! You get an amazing view and it’s easy to get to all the pubs and restaurants. Town Square is 5 minute walk away. Easy to access because of instructions and Egis who met us there. The master bath is to die for!

Wonderful stay
We had 12 people stay in mid-November. There was plenty of room for us to hang out together but then all the bedrooms allowed people to have separate space as well. Sandra was very attentive and responded quickly to any need that we had. The location was perfect - just a few short minutes walk to all the action in Downtown Galway but yet a nice view overlooking the water. There are quite a few nice amenities like parking spot, electric shower, PlayStation and ping pong for the kids, surround sound speakers, etc. the electric shower is key for large groups so we never ran out of hot water! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend. Thank you Sandra!

It is a very nice apartment and the location is wonderful.
In addition to a great location, the apartment was very nice. We traveled with 9 adults and 1 child. Big enough to spend time together without feeling crowded. Also, when in your room none of the noise from the others would disturb your sleep. It was nicer than expected.
