    Ask him if he'll allow you to sublet the bedroom.

    think i have some volunteering to do this evening, but i'd love to go for the laugh. the subletting is a great idea though, i reckon that bedroom should be worth somewhere in the region of e0 per month.

    Tell him you and your wife and 2 kids have been looking for something cheap and cheerful in the area for ages and you are so happy to find this place. Why, its 3 times the size of your last flat!

    At least you got a reply, I mailed Billy Whizz asking him could the 'bedroom' support the weight of 2 bunk beds on-top.

    No reply as yet.

    It would suit a non smoker as the windows probably don't open.

    BTW I'm so proud of this thread, the responses to it are priceless.

    The reason it suits a non smoker is because if you put on some deodorant, and then spark one up, you run the risk of blowing up the 'apartment' as there is not enough air in the 'property' to dilute the flammable gases.

    The 2nd one is unreal!

    The 3rd one is way nicer than the OP (still a hell-hole though, but compared to the OP it's like a palace) - It'd nearly be worth paying the train fares up and back to Dublin every day - you'd still be paying out less, and have a (slightly) better gaff than the one in the OP.

    72 quid a month? That can't be right. Must be per week. You would get parking spot for 72 pm.

    Jesus during the "boom time" this Speculating tramp landlords
    would have being beating off the customers with a stick.

    Scumbags should be made live in these soul destroying hell holes.

    I always find it funny that were a nation that couldn't wait to throw out the English Landlords and get our land back, what do we do then.

    Ride our own up the hole for all their worth.

    Again, using the wonderful propertybee plugin for firefox I can see that this Irish Donald Trump upon not having rented it for a month at €699 decided to raise the price to €799 in May.


    This guy really is a canny one.

    That type of kip is still very common around Ranelagh and Rathmines. When I was a student, my local supplier of herbal relaxation products used to live in one of these places. Awful.

    The Government announced they were going to ban these places, seems to been put on the long finger.

    Ban on bedsits

    The very long finger. Only last year, The Shoebox King was advertising hotel rooms in Tallaght as studio apartments on Daft.

    Sex & The City Living Hits The Suburbs

    There were objections lodged to SDCC regarding change of use and such, don't know what happened in the end but I believe it's still going on, the former ads are now listed as "Let" anyway. He'd no problem changing the Augustine residential development into an apartment hotel anyway.

    I asked him if he would consider reducing the price somewhat cause its a about 50 over my budget and he hasn't replied, he's very picky!
