Beautiful, clean, modern apartment in fantastic Spanish arch location overlooking Claddagh Quay. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. Sinead was a pleasure to deal with and was very responsive. She provided recommendations for our stay and great clear instructions for access and property information during our stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or stay here again.

Not bad once you can get in
We booked this place because of it's location and it said it had a king size bed. The location was good but the bed was not king size as stated. The worst part of this stay was that we had not received our check-in instructions by the check-in time of 4pm and the company was not responding to my messages. I then called the VRBO customer service number and they weren't able to reach the property management company either. We were in the process of getting a refund when the check-in instructions were finally sent at 6:15pm. You can imagine the stress this caused us not knowing where we would be staying. I would not rent from Apex Accommodation Services, Ltd ever again after this experience.

Great Location
Our apartment had, as stated, a Romeo & Juliet balcony facing the water. The apartment was nice although trying to find it using car navigation is problematic as when you arrive using the street adress, it is really on the other side of a building to the right of a Chinese/Thai restaurant. There is an outside gate with keypad and another lockbox with the keys to the building door and apartment door. Be sure and watch your email before arriving for the details. Apartment was as promised. The location is very good as you are about 1 block from a grocery and 2 - 3 blocks from the Spanish Quarter entertainment area (plenty of pubs, music, restaurants, bars, shopping, etc.

Mostly awesome
The stay was very enjoyable for the most part. The good: 1. Cleanliness 2. Location 3. “Escape room” entrance (Note: for key pick up, etc. , follow the instructions!) 4. Laundry facilities were good 5. Kitchen utensils/glassware excellent 6. Shower pressure very good 7. Local market right below our rooms! 8. Open kitchen/dining/lounge area was great 9. Romeo/Juliette balcony 10. Security Not so good: 1. En suite sink was plugged - took 2 nights for it to be useable! 2. Logistics of sharing only 1set of keys (!?) between 2 couples, made throwing them from our balcony to the roommates, was crazy and unnecessary. Eg. if you were going in early and left the key in the entrance lockbox for your roommates to use later, you couldn’t because you couldn’t get yourself in once the keys were locked up…! A second set of keys is a critical shortcoming of this VRBO. 3. Clothes dryer very finicky. Rooms are quite hot (with not heater turned on. Had to leave windows open for air. Rain came/wind blew continually in the windows/balcony. All in all, would stay here again. 8.5/10

Central location
Apartment was great. Kitchen well stocked. Great location in city center! You will need to park first then unload. Info that may be helpful- we stayed in July, Thursday-Sunday and the Spanish arch area below the apartment was extremely busy and loud. People late into the night and 6:00 am workers and machines with noisy birds all the time! We were a group of 4 older adults. We still enjoyed our stay!

Outstanding location
The apartment has a beautiful view. It’s close to the Spanish Arch which is located near Shop Street, the quay, coastal walk and river walk. Lots of restaurants and cafes in easy walking distance. Communication with the host company was excellent. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again in f we come to Galway.

Galway in June
We had an amazing time in Galway and this rental was a big part of it. The apartment is very beautiful, spacious, modern and extremely clean. The location is terrific: we walked from the train station and were a super quick walk to everything we wanted to do. The Latin quarter is literally across the street. Our hosts were quick to respond to questions and check in/out was easy. We loved our stay and highly recommend it!

The view was amazing and the place had everything we needed. It is a great location too. The only issue was trying to get the keys out of the lockbox in the pouring rain … and the first shower was a little cold . But if you read all the information they provide everything is explained. Would stay again !

Wonderful Stay!
Amazing location (perfect for walking around Galway and catching Aran Islands ferry), lovely apartment with all the amenities we wanted, great check-in/check-out system, and good communication with manager. For those not used to living in a city, you might hear some noise from folks walking by late at night (it's a quiet location, so even conversations stand out), but nothing out of the ordinary or even that loud. Would highly recommend!

Hard No Unless You Are Partying w/ Friends
14 year old drunk kids outside your window yelling, fighting and blasting music until 3-4 AM depending on weekday v weekend. You will not sleep. Close the windows for some quiet but then it's a hotbox and you still hear bass from music. There's a reason this is let out and not lived in, it's not livable. Spanish Arch is for preteens. Cops walked through a few times but it doesn't matter. I'll remove this when the Galway Guarda let me know they've cleaned up the arch area.

Great location to the busy bars and shops on Quay, and the less busy west end. We walked from the train station with no issue. Check in was easy and detailed. The space was clean and comfortable. It was our last stop on a long vacation and enjoyed cooking and watching tv one night. This place is bookmarked as we will be back!
