We took a two bedroom apartment for one night as we passed through the area. It was a pleasant surprise and more of a townhouse setup with bedrooms and full baths upstairs and a half bath downstairs. There was a spacious kitchen, dining area, and living room. Outside on the large patio area was a picnic table. This would be a great place for a family or group to stay as a base for day trips to Galway, the Cliffs, etc. There is a full grocery right downstairs. We walked to restaurants and the quay. It was extremely clean, quality furnishings were in good condition, very private, modern, centrally located. They definitely take pride in their accomodations. Because we could all stay together, the overall cost was a plus after a week of individual rooms.

There is not anything to really complain about, so these comments are more petty things than deal-breakers. The upstairs shared bathroom sink and shower were a bit small, but big enough for most. It might be a little tight for a larger person. There is a clothes washer in the kitchen (great), but no dryer (hmmm...). We're Americans so maybe we missed something here on the clothes-drying practices. Parking was easy, but it's a shared lot with some well-posted rules to which one should pay attention.

The property location was great and within walking distance to restaurants.

Unfortunately we were placed in a room right above the Euro Spar loading area so from 5am it was extremely noisy.
