Guess there's a maximum height requirement here to use your kitchen-bed. On the plus side, you can leave the cooker on to keep you warm at night

And for the pic of the bathroom they have only pictured the sink, nothing else.

You have to keep a positive outlook on life, when living in sub-standard accommodation. Look at the advantages, of having nowhere else to put your TV except on top of a fridge. You could grab a beer from the fridge without having to take your eye off the match.

How small is the sink. You would be lucky to fit a cup in it, never mind plates or saucepans.

The cooker seems very happy though

Lovely dining table to have a romantic meal for one and stare at beautiful view that is the wall.

It's just one room!! The shower is also in the kitchen and living room :eek: I guess its a conversation starter! :P

Also, it's a bit unfair to say the property consists of a bedroom and a bathroom...clearly the bathroom is just a toilet room!!

I probably should have mentioned the whole its also a shower in the kitchen thing. At least you can keep an eye on the cooking while you clean.

I think theres a trend of having the shower in the bedroom. Its the new decking. Still, only 250.

Its a shame, given a bit more room it would of been a nice place.

Whers the bloody fridge? :mad:

How are some of these landlords actually putting up some of these places for rent with a straight face?

They are literally hovels and they are asking €500+ a month for them.

The shelf against the wall dining table, "high sleeper" with the TV underneath which is actually a converted cheap bunk bed... this is an oldie! I remember this one from the last time it was on the market. It's one of those converted corridor places so it's really long and narrow. They've left out a lot of the pics that show how cramped and grim it really is, this time, but the long and short of it is that what you see in those pics is really the long and short of it. There is literally no other space.

I'm pretty sure the crying chair is tucked in under the bunk in front of that portable TV.

I think what's confusing you (if its the same that confused me) is that it's a mirror on the right hand side - reflecting the cooker etc

That took me a lot longer to figure out than I'm willing to admit it took me!

I don't understand. It seems to be ground floor with a door out into that outside area but over the bunk there's an attic access panel. Sleeping under that would give me the creeps. I'd be imagining someone or something living there that would wait till I was asleep to come out. I'd prefer to sleep in the crying chair if at all.

It's Ballybough though. A sink is all you need for your personal hygiene needs and washing out your used needles. It'll be like being back in Mountjoy once more. Happy days.

A guy from a letting agency recently showed me round a tiny damp-stained (and strongly damp-smelling) 'apartment' and thought it perfectly ok to offer this sort of health hazard as accomodation.

Not to freak you out more, it has actually happened!

Sounds like a place I saw on Malborough street in Dublin this time last year when I was looking at place. Dark Dank and Damp basement. Hardly surprising when the flat next door had it's door wide opened. I had images of junkies forcing the door for somewhere to bang up. Not in my flea pit. :eek:

Sounds far worse than the one I encountered, still, I wouldn't leave a dog (or a student) live in either.

Bizarre what some people are willing to put with. One friend lived in a bedsit for want of a better word and never knew when the landlord would come for rent. She kept her rent money in a tin in the bathroom. He would let himself in when he felt like collecting the rent, even if she was in the shower.
He might call in every week for the rent or she might not see him for 2-3 months. She found nothing strange about the whole thing at all.

Why do I click into this thread every couple of weeks. It makes me so fucking angry every time.

I am frustrated now..
At first vision thought that was the fridge in the bathroom...:):)

We lived in a hovel in Dublin's north inner city. The landlord put up the rent three times in two years despite not doing a tap of work on the place. It was grand at first as it was rather shabby but handy for the city centre but he was asking mental money for a cramped flat with three of us living on top of one another. Like your friend, we never knew when the landlord would visit so there could be a couple of thousand in rent money knocking about the place. Sometimes he'd send someone round in his place that we didn't know from Adam and be expected to hand over the money in the hopes that he really was there on behalf of the landlord. No official correspondence with him either - wouldn't sign anything and refused to give an address for tax rebate purposes. I was very glad to get out of there.
