This place has a great location but a little hard to find. It is located above a restaurant. Parking is not next to property and you need to pay at another garage with a 5 minute walk. It had coffee for first day only. It took a while to get a response to questions . Loved the view and living area.
6.0 / 10.0
It was centrally located, but noisy at night. There were some issues with the washer/dryer, the toilet and the parking was not communicated well. The furnishings were clean, but cheap.

This place was in the heart of Galway. Shops, restaurants, and pubs were within short walking distance. This place is first class, our best rental while touring Ireland.

This rental is located in the heart of Galway- we couldn't have asked for a better location for exploring the city. That being said, revelers on the street were quite loud well into sleeping hours. Not great for our kids' sleep. Pack ear plugs and a white noise machine.

We loved the convenience and vibe of this spot. It was comfortable and really lovely. Would definitely stay again!

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.

As presented. Clean, safe area with incredible views. Beds were very comfortable and everything in the apartment was modern and pristine. Easy walk from train station. Centrally located. Would book again.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 location was excellent. We were right in town next to the water at the base of the Latin Quarter. We walked to dinner each night. The Cliffs of Moher were 1 hour and 30 minutes away. We had a wonderful time.

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 !

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!

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!

The property itself was great and the apartment was clean. The outside area was not always clean. Trash pickup was not efficient. The view of the river was fantastic. We had no car so the location was perfect for walking. The rental had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful time in Galway because of renting this condo. It was clean; had all the amenities; was in the perfect location to get around Galway whether walking or driving; and Sinead provided excellent suggestions for eating, etc. Parking is close by. I would definitely stay there again if we go back to Galway

Very good communication, a bit involved C/I process but we managed. The apartment is sparkling clean and fresh, the bedding good though we would have appreciated a top sheet. Showers were good. The only drawback was the kitchen supplies, lack of water glasses, paper towel roll, S&P, dish drain pad but otherwise just fine. We loved the location and once we settled in were able to purchase what we needed. Thanks

The apt is very nice, we loved the views and location. BUT….
It took us a number of attempts to find the pullout to drop off luggage at Jury’s Inn (it’s in front of the hotel, marked “For busses only”) We found much cheaper parking ourselves at a nearby church (€5 for 24 hrs, vs €20 elsewhere)
The key lock box is poorly designed and difficult to use.
But most importantly, we had absolutely NO WIFI until our last evening (of 4 nights). No communication from the management company on our third day without wifi. On our last day the wifi was fixed and they left chocolates and wine for our troubles, but we had to ASK for the new password.
We were disappointed that no recycling was available. There were only two glasses for four people. There’s very poor water pressure for sinks and showers. The ensuite bathroom was very small (you need to back up to the toilet to shut the door).
For all the warnings about this being a quiet building, we experienced a lot of NOISE: loud young people all along the waterfront at night until the early hours; a noisy leaf blower (moving bottles and cans) just before 7 am, followed by street sweepers.
And finally—to add insult to injury—garbage was strewn across the entry way for the entire last day (and following morning) of our stay.
The accumulation of irritations we experienced didn’t ruin our short visit to Galway, but they did tarnish our complete enjoyment.

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.
