    Due to work, I have to relocate to Galway City or suburbs. I was hoping to get a one-bedroomed apartment but these look ridiculously thin on the ground in Galway. I viewed a couple of places, but frankly, I'm not prepared to pay €800 for a pokey little bedsit.

    So, I'm now looking at two bedroomed apartments with the possibility of sub-letting one of the rooms. However, I'm not sure this would be the best course of action, as I would be left to carry the can if the tenant leaves. It doesn't exactly look like a cheap option either, apartment prices seem to come close to matching what you'd pay in Dublin.

    Other than daft, does anyone know of any letting agencies/newspapers/websites that might be of help? I'm looking to stick to the city or suburbs at most. Advice, thoughts? Help!

    Try the local Galway papers. I suspect a disproportionate amount of the Galway market is for students.

    Some offers are also in the Galway Independent (out on Wednesdays, I believe).

    or try the rental agencies directly, for example, Winters (http://www.winterspm.com/) or check here http://www.galway.net/galwayguide/service/realestate/propertyman/

    It is worth dropping by some of those agencies to see their rental lists...

    The paper is out on Thursday but you can get the accomadation list on Wednesday.
    Seriously, try to sort this month as Galway has a huge student population and it'd be better if you get a place before they start booking accomadation for the next college year
