    What apt? I was in 12 last year. It was a right sh!thole. I had a look at the other day as I was in UCD. I must say they've done it up nicely though. Nice black tile floors, new couches. They completely gutted the kitchen and its alot more roomy. Its very nice now tbh. Just my luck that they'd do it up after I go lol:P.
    The duvet and pillow are supplied with a lamp in the room as well (well they were last year anyway), you just need to bring up sheets. Everything else you need to bring - Pots, pans, plates, knifes, forks etc. Oh yeah, you also need to supply a tv if you want one.

    Take your own duvet and pillows. They can be rough looking with dodgy stains...at least mine were.

    A quick list that springs to mind:
    • A few knives and forks, they don't always have them, or at least usable ones
    • Frying pan, saucepan etc
    • A steamer can be got pretty cheap these days too, very handy to have one
    • Dishcloths, towels, washing up liquid, draining tray for the dishes
    • A general cleaner like Dettol spray
    • Toilet Duck or something similar

    They usually give a vacuum cleaner and a mop, so you should be OK there. There are lots of other bits and pieces that come in handy too.

    Did I not make your time in Merville 12 more barable? It wasn't that bad....well it was awful. Just awful.

    But yes everything is done up now, No oven. No oven at all. Lidl or Aldi have a special offer on a counter top one either now or the coming days though.
