    The Stop was the perfect place for us to stay for our four nights in Galway. It was within walking distance of the city center, clean, had a relaxing vibe, and was quiet. Communication between the hosts was top notch and breakfast was over the top; so delicious with a wide variety of tasty options. We loved the record player and selection of albums / music played during breakfast, suggestions of what to do each day, proximity to nearby coastal towns including Connemara region, Aran Island Ferry and Cliffs of Moher, and the nightlife which was really happening since we were there during race and art festival week. Everyone was super friendly and kind. I also appreciated that they had a fan in the room to help cool it down.

    One of the best Airbnb's you can stay in! We LOVED The Stop and didn't want to leave. As a designer myself from San Francisco with two Airbnb's, I am so particular when choosing an Airbnb as want to be inspired! This one had it all! Every common shared area, hallway with art, breakfast dish...you name it was so curated and stylish I took heaps of Instagram photos! The exterior is lovely but the moment you walk into the front door you are transformed! Jazz music was playing, candles flickering, hallway of found art, little plants on windowsills....it was amazing. Owners are former art curators so every space has intention with art, board games, pillows, books, plants....Lea, who was the main person there during our stay, was BEYOND WONDERFUL. So friendly and knowledgeable. She is a college student but works here every summer now for years. Since she's from Galway, she shared great local knowledge with me and my teenagers which we loved. The breakfasts are beyond delicious and beautifully plated. I loved how Lea would change the vinyl records in breakfast room while eating as felt so lovely. Definitely see why they have won so many awards as best Airbnb in the area! It's hard to find Airbnbs that have it all, and this one is one of the best. Enjoy!

    I’m sure this is noted somewhere, but I was surprised how tiny our room was. It had everything we needed and got the job done, but there wasn’t much space to spread out. Another note (and I find this with most if not all B&Bs), but you definitely hear people coming and going. This meant falling asleep to neighboring chatter and waking up to folks leaving early. Not a big deal, but worth noting if you are a light sleeper.

    The hosts are fantastic and give really solid recommendations that never steered us wrong! The B&B itself is beautifully designed, the parking was great, communication was great and so was breakfast! 10/10 for the blackout curtains!

    Firstly, Russell was a fabulous host…..such a lovely guy! The decor in The Stop was great…..it was stylish but also very comfortable. Lovely, more imaginative selection at breakfast. The room was small but very comfortable with great bed and shower. The location is perfect for access to the best pubs and restaurants but away from the noise of the centre. Also great location for walking out to Salthill.
