Is Galway a good choice for a longer stay or remote work trip?
Galway is a strong fit for longer stays and remote work if you want a city base with restaurants, everyday services, and a walkable rhythm. Look for apartment-style space and work-friendly setup in the listing, since desks, Wi-Fi details, and laundry access can differ by stay.
