Galway City Centre Stay

n the heart of Galway City, this newly refurbished apartment is located adjacent to Galway's infamous Woodquay, where everything is at your front door. It is one street away from Galway's main shopping and nightlife street. This apartment was renovated in 2019 but as the original building is over 100 years old there were limitations in the level of sound proofing that could be carried out. As a result sound can travel from within the building and from main city centre street.
