Nimmo's Nest was perfect for three ladies through Ireland! It was very well appointed and had everything we needed for our five day stay. It was very centrally located to the docs and to the Spanish arch/Latin quarter. Will stay again when we wake our way back to Galway!

Overall this was an excellent place for our stay in Galway as one of our party is disabled, uses a cane and walks slow. The proximity to central Galway was important for him as was the ground floor access and large walk- in shower. The property was very clean, beds were comfortable with 2 pillows per person, adjustable heat, wi-fi that worked well, washer/dryer, basic supplied kitchen. The only issue we had was drying clothes as the all-in-one washer dryer did not seem to dry well despite various control adjustments. We used the supplied drying rack & fan to finish drying clothes, so it was not a big issue. The host said the dryer had not had problems and she would check into it (or maybe the settings we used were not correct). We did appreciate the “starter” coffee and tea that was supplied . The view of the river and bay out the living room window was very nice. Instructions for the property were generally clear and we appreciated the local restaurant info sent to us by the host. We would stay here again.

Great Time In Galway

Had a great time in Galway staying here. It was clean, modern, and well kept. Also, the location is outstanding. The only challenge was driving into Galway during rush hour which was crazy and figuring out where the front door of this place was on the building. Once we found the place, everything was just as we told in the instructions.

Mostly Great with minor issues

Good: Fabulous location with water view and lawn area (public) out front right on the river outlet. Plenty of space with comfortable beds and linens. Issues annoying but nothing disqualifying Less than great: Instructions were sometimes confusing (I have many rental experiences, have dealt with every level of owner communication; I'd give this one a grade of C. This is partly due to owner telling us to refer to binder in unit that was nowhere to be found - we searched thoroughly). Don't plan on doing laundry. Listing includes a combo washer / dryer that is incredibly noisy and doesn't dry no matter how long you run it. Owner sent someone to "fix it" and said "put fewer things in it." We had 2 pants and one shirt in it. Fewer meaning 1 item? Cold shower - the large bathroom with walk in shower ran only cold water. The tiny shower in master bedroom had heating unit that worked fine so we used that one. About the size of a cruise ship shower while the one that didn't have hot water was big and modern. Other little things: Parking is opposite side of large complex about 7 minute walk for me; Glad it wasn't raining). Instructions to it were confusing but I figured it out. Internet code stuff was confusing (instructions on internet box in unit and password on router all different than what came in a long text message from owner). Light switches made no sense - 2 days and never figured them out and one lamp in living room could only be turned off by unplugging it.

Don’t book this location

Although the location was amazing, that’s all that went right with this property. Our arrival was late in the evening so we wanted to go to bed right away. The king bed collapsed beneath upon just sitting on it. I reported to the manager immediately and after 16hrs, and a sleepless night, there was still no reply. I sent an urgent message and finally got a response. Also the hot water did not work in the main bathroom so three of us had to share the tiny en suite. The bed did get fixed but the shower never ended up working. The communication from the management was full of apologies but no reasonable solution. The price was already steep, we felt, and now we are upset about having booked it all.

Vrbo not responsive

Four people, three nights. Before leaving the US I requested checkin information because I anticipated communication problems given cell phone differences. Two attempts and all I was told was we would receive that info on the day of our arrival. Cell phone with new SIM wouldn't work on the day of arrival after traveling all night. Frustrating. Finally begged a laptop from a local pub and got our checkin info...very late. Apartment was clean. Parking is a l o n g way from the apartment. After being up and traveling for over 30 hours a shower was in order. The main bath shower drain was clogged and flooded the bathroom. Called host, "Jown" who said she would call after hours plumber and replace the soaked towels. Next day another flood so called host again. Also, a roiving band of noisy, drunken teenagers hanging around the apartment. One threw a vodka bottle against the front door. I cleaned up the broken glass. Reported same to Jown who, wanting to accommodate us, said she would process a refund for our stay. That was a month ago, no refund, and repeated emails with Vrbo only advise they are working on "rectifying the situation." This means what? Thus, I do not recommend this property or VRBO.

Great location

The property was very clean, in a great location (very convenient to everything in the city and with a lovely view of the water). It was exactly as advertised. The kitchen cabinets were mostly empty (only the barest essentials provided). We did have a problem getting into the property because the instructions were sent to us while we were travelling to Galway with no access to the Internet or WiFi. Wish we had got them the previous day or even earlier. The second night we were there, a very large and noisy party was going on across the water, which made sleeping very difficult. Also the battery in the smoke alarm needed to be changed, so it beeped all night long. Because another party was obviously going to take place on the third night we were booked for (we could see the people gathering by mid-afternoon), we left the apartment early and returned to Dublin. All I’ve written here sounds like a lot of complaints, but really the noisy party wasn’t the owner’s fault, and smoke alarms do tend to demand new batteries at the most inconvenient times. Sinead took care of the battery situation as soon as we called her in the morning, but there was nothing she could do about the impending party.

Lovely Galway Stay

We really enjoyed our stay in Galway. The place is in an amazing location right at the end of the long walk and very close to the Latin quarter. The beds were comfortable the and spot is very cute inside. The only issues we had with the property was that the front door was very hard to lock. You had to line up the door perfectly in order for it to lock and it sometimes took us awhile to get closed. It also was a bit of a pain to have to take our own garbage to a different building. We were leaving extremely early for a flight and the door to the garbage area was locked and the code they gave us didn’t work. If we’ve ever had to dispose of our own garbage before at a self catering unit the place to leave it was either just outside or we just left the garbage in the bins in the place for a cleaner. It might be a good idea in future to not have your guests take their garbage to another building. Otherwise we did really enjoy our stay and for the location alone we would consider it again.

The property was well located and comfortable however we were unable to use the main shower and sink as it flooded due to a blockage. Initially the property management responded swiftly to our messages but when we asked for compensation, silence. Still waiting to date for news since 31 may. Chased but have not responded.

Good location to explore Galway and the surrounding area

The booking via Fewo-direkt was uncomplicated as always. The subsequent communication with the owner or the agency was difficult. My emails were not answered at all or only partially. I did not receive the check-in information at all and we stood in front of the flat on the day of arrival and could not reach anyone at the telephone numbers provided. Thank God Jown contacted me via Whatsapp and we got all the necessary information. I don't understand why the emails from the agency didn't reach me. The last email contact regarding the payment information in mid-April still worked... The flat is very spacious and looks like in the pictures, maybe not so new.... We did not dare to sleep at night with the windows open, it is very noisy and in the neighbourhood young people meet to hang out.... For us, the locked parking space was very important and the central location. It's a quick walk to the centre of Galway and there are lots of great restaurants and pubs. The flat is also a good location for exploring the area.

On the Dock

Not enough hot water for five people. Could use more towels. Not enough toilet paper or paper towels or Kleenex provided. Hot water was not sufficient for five people especially in the evening or at night! The boost on the hot water feature doesn’t seem to work. Dryer does not dry clothes all the way. Always left damp. I guess that’s the way it is in Ireland. Nice place for runners/walkers because close to the Prom. Location good for shops and pubs.

Perfect location

Perfect location with a beautiful view! Our family of 5 fit comfortably in this home. Home is up to date and clean. The hall bath was a treat with a large shower! The first night We did have an issue with a large group of kids drinking right out front, throwing bottles & urinating. The Garda showed up and the kids dispersed and did not return. So other than that it was a perfect stay in walking distance to everything!
