    ^ I wouldn't reccomend them to be honest. Having said that I don't think I have ever heard one praised on here. I think it's a renters market these days and all that ****e of a lease is well gone. Go through a landlord would be my advice, you can generally tell fairly quickly if they are on the ball.

    book a room should definety be avoided.i went to see one of their places before,everything looked ok besides a few little problems that we were promised would be sorted before we moved in.So we told them we would take it and paid deposit to hold it for a few weeks till we were ready to move.Around 3 weeks later we went and paid 1st months rent and got the keys.When we got out to the house we realised the front door wouldnt lock(so had to use back door for entry)wash machine flooded place when turned on,sparks coming out of sockets when turned on,what looked like sewerage coming up through the sink.So i rang them and told them about everything and i was told it would be a few weeks until everything was sorted.I decided to ask them to give me money back as the house wasnt livable and i needed somewhere to live.They refused and in the end i had to get solicitors to get my money back.So from my experience Dont go near Book a room

    Going private is the best way to go. Try the Munster Express or News and Star or Daft.ie
