Town House situated in the seaside village Salthill.
The town house is walking distance to all amenities. Local grocery store, pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, seafront, church. Ideal touring base for Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, Connemara and city centre.
All amenities beside house. 2 adults and 4 children stayed with plenty of space. Great freshly made pastries and bread in shop opposite house. Restaurants and pubs 5 minutes walk.
Sean, The host was very friendly and accommodating. But the property is older than anticipated and the furniture smelled of cat urine. A deep cleaning and new furniture would improve the quality of the townhouse. The bedding was old and new pillows would be a nice addition. The location was very good and a nice walking distance to the waterfront, shopping, pubs, restaurants, casinos and cathedrals. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
Close to the promenade and restaurants of Salthill, but still walkable to downtown Galway. The apartment was great, had everything we needed. Using the washer/dryer was tricky so pay attention to the instructions given.
Unit was clean and spacious. Needs some updating of furniture and electronics/wifi but otherwise fine. We were out and about most of the day. Host Sean covered everything and answered every question. 25 min to walk into Galway for shopping. Host recommended an Italian restaurant in Salthill which was fantastic.
We arrived with our van driver at the correct address, and had partially unloaded our baggage when the host arrived and told us to put the baggage back in the van and follow him. We went about half a block and then started to unload our baggage outside an apartment garage. He was motioning us to follow him. I asked him âWhat are we doing?â His reply was, âYouâre following meâ I informed him that we had more baggage than we could all carry. We had 3 adults and 3 children. He said he would get a trolley. He sent 4 of us up on an elevator, then the rest of us in the second elevator trip, with the trolley baggage staying behind. He showed us around for about 60 seconds and then asked whoâs the head person. I said me, and he took me across the hall to another apartment. He said, is this going to be OK? It wasnât until then that re revealed that the unit that we had reserved would not be available because the woman in the unit above had run a load of laundry and there had been a plumbing issue. I was shocked. I asked âWhy didnât you call us in the morning and inform us that this was an issue?â His reply was that he thought he could get it fixed, but he contradicted himself later so that obviously wasnât true. He also could have told us when we first met, be he deliberately kept us in the dark about the situation and he was rude to us as he did that.
The unit we were moved to did not have a bathtub, which we needed for our young boys, poor matresses, and our family not together.
