In Pic 3 you can see why its back on the market.

Do you mean the bit of rope hanging from the roof window? Handy feature after living there for a day or 2 I suspect!

If I lived with nine people I'd probably have wine with my rice krispies too.

On just a quick calculation, the landlord is making around €470,000 rental pa :eek:

Eyeballs a definite disadvantage if you live here.

The definition of 'whimsy' right there ....

Show your work. Even if you took all 10 bedrooms and got 200/week from 2 people per room (even though it says single occupancy only) it still only comes to about €200k a year.

He also sells the rice krispies and wine daily with a 300% markup

Guys, you need to read the ad.

Firstly, as Michael said, all rooms are Single Occupancy.
Secondly, it is only intended for short term lets.
Thirdly, the price drops to €175 pw for 2/3 week stays and €150 pw for stays greater than 4 weeks.

Therefore, even if the landlord filled the place all year round, that would only be €150 * 10 * 52 = €78,000

No idea what the occupancy rates are or what proportion of guests are 1-week only guests, but I'd imagine that the €78,000 above would be fairly high of the mark in terms of what the landlord actually gets.

Finally, it is more of a B&B. The day-to-day costs to the landlord would be far higher (the constant cleaning, replacing, advertising and management).

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the landlord.

That's the same blanket and pillows in both rooms! Reminds me of one I looked at a couple of years ago in Offaly, the same vase of carnations was in every photo of every room, e.g. on top of tv in living room, on top of bookcase in living room, on side of bath, on wash hand basin!

Look closer. There are 2 wine glasses there.

I do like those checkered blankets/bedsheets. I wonder where they bought those.

I was reading in the paper today regarding the rent price increases, today I found the proof.

Not only do they want you to pay nearly €700 a month on a teeny, old, single bed studio with a crying chair a month, they also want you to pay for half of the registration for the PRTB.

My girlfriend used to live in very small studio akin to this one (albeit nicer looking) in the same area and it was alot cheaper.

My eyes bleed looking at the wallpaper and seeing that little heater.

I came across this beauty in my searches today. Nothing wrong with the property...but wtf is with the decor?? The living room floor looks like a slowly drying pool of blood and all the other rooms look like the murder victim ran through leaving sprays of arterial blood and gory handprints on their way to their inevitable doom!

It's "quirky" and "fun" no doubt.

Has a twin room and a single room but only suitable for 2 people? Why bother with a twin room at all then.

The carpet in that sitting room is spectacular.

Reminds me of my grandparents place before they redecorated 10+ years ago.

That place is laughingly described as a "studio apartment". It's not a studio apartment - it's a room!

Good God.

I was just thinking the same as I looked at the photos. I could almost smell the place. That electric fire, oh no, can you imagine sitting in the crying chair gazing into it.

And thats the 700 euro p/m option. It says in the ad they start at 400.

Im guessing the 400 you actually take a dump in the shower!

I'd be really concerned for the safety of somebody cooking anything on that hob too.

All 3 at once. Efficiently designed by the Japanese id say. Who has time to not be multitasking these days?

Bet they wouldn't be accepting the rent allowance if they had different tenants downstairs
