A fine location in a great city

Shane's apartment is well located in Galway's West End and facing to the rear, we did not have any late night, or early morning, noise to disturb our sleep! Galway was everything we thought it would be - great food, music and easy access to fantastic countryside. Shane was a hospitable host. Thoroughly recommended.

Two and a half months of happiness

I stayed for an extended visit so I could immerse myself in the Irish culture. Shane, the host, was outstanding. He is a great communicator, checked in every week or two, and made suggestions for things to do when he ran across a n activity he thought I’d enjoy. The location is amazing and walking distance from anything you’d need. It can be noisy as the street becomes a pedestrian street at night, there are restaurant and pub deliveries in the morning, etc. if I’d wanted serene I’d have gone to the country. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Fantastic location, great apartment

This is the 2nd time we stayed in Shane's apartment, and we will hopefully stay again when and if we are back in Galway. Location is perfect - just across the road from the best music pub in Galwy (The Crane Bar) and above one of the best restaurants in the city (the Mona Lisa). It's in the West End, which is still very close to the centre, but a bit less hectic. And the apartment itself is very quite, being in the back of the building. Very fast internet (I measured 75 MB/s download). There is no on-site parking, but Shane provides visitor parking permits that allow street parking close by. Thank you Shane (again) for a great stay.
