House in Galway, Ireland
We have a town house on three floors in Galway city. It is an end of terrace house with preservation order on the front façade, in a very quiet residential neighbourhood.
On the first floor there are two living rooms, a bed room, washroom with toilet. Bottom floor: kitchen-dining room which opens on to patio area and small back garden with herbs and flowers, shower and toilet, store room with washing machine and clothes dryer and lots of space for outdoor gear etc. and another room that could be used as a bedroom, we use it for our grandchildren’s toys and games.
Top floor: two double bedrooms, singe bedroom, bathroom with bath and shower, small office.
We have had many wonderful exchange holidays (France, Switzerland, UK, USA) when our children were young and now we are back to Intervac after many years absence. We have had a very successful exchange in Sweden for 2 weeks in August 2012.
Our house is located within walking distance of Galway city centre, in a quiet friendly neighbourhood close to shops, theatre, pubs, music venues and also close to the sea- Galway Bay. Connemara and the Burren are a short drive.
Galway, the capital of the west of Ireland, has everything to offer the visitor: shopping, good restaurants, theatre, festivals, traditional music, harbour, beaches, public swimming pool, promenade all within 10 minutes walking distance.
We are in a hill walking group and can help with maps, best routes and advice for Connemara to the west and the Burren to the south and for other areas e.g Kerry - Killarney.
