The Spanish Arch Retreat - Sleeps 4

A great home and amazing location close to everything. It has everything you need and nice and secure.

Great location, accommodations were very nice, clean, well stocked, and host was responsive.

Excellent communication, clean, and good location to access area of interest to tourists.

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.

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.

Great location, close to everything in Latin quarter! Very clean, very communicative staff. Dryer didn’t work so the offered to pick up our laundry for us and return after it had been cleaned. Beautiful condo overlooking the Spanish arch. We had easy access to everything.

The flat was as advertised. Clean, efficient, and just what we were looking for.

Very clean and modern. Perfect location. Everything was great, would highly recommended.

very close to all - incredibly clean apartment. I’d stay again

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.

The property overlooked the parade at the Spanish Arch overlooking the Carribe River. Beautiful location, very convenient to everything. I would recommend this property. Bright, airy, clean. Totally enjoyed our stay.

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.

Great location and apartment, which I would recommend to visitors to Galway. very clean and good facilities.

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

An absolutely wonderful place to call home during any visit to Galway. Will be my go-to on all return visits.

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.
