Is that 75 a week or month? That said 300 a month in dublin sounds ok
Would suit someone who wishes to share with less people than in a hostel or bedroom share, for the same or a cheaper price,

I suppose if you're stuck and it's short term you might be ok with it

Has to be.

Between the dodgy email, being described as both 1- and 2-bedroom, and the price - definitely a lot not right with it.

Wonder what the scam is, though? Collect a load of deposits off people and disappear? Or have they got more sophisticated than that these days?

How would that work collecting deposit, you would have to visit the apartment?

I think they used to rent the apartment themselves, set a load of people up with appointments for a couple of days and get them to pay a deposit on the spot, and then vamoose.

Or its been reported and taken down. I think that "This property has been let" notice is standard across daft once an ad is no longer active

Dunno if people remember the bedsit where there was a wooden bed frame above a kitchen - here is something similar - two beds above a lavatory "an unusual design". Contact Robbing Pain http://www.daft.ie/21449125
and there are probably seven other flats like it in that building!

So the collective term for crying chairs is a sprinkling?

I like that

I'd have thought that "A tear of crying chairs" would be more appropriate.

I think the lava lamp between the sink and the cooker is my favourite bit - adds a bit of ambience I'm sure

That can't be good for ventilation/damp/smelly turds.

I'd go with a 'gloom' of crying chairs.


There must be some rules or regulations regarding living space surely? Some of these places look ridiculously and unfairly tiny.

Look at this dream house

'Excellent Location, this Flat has just come to
the market to let in pristine condition '

Well, they certainly did an excellent job of duct taping the curtain rail together

How short is that bed? That's a depressing room ('flat').

Pristine! Check out the prehistoric fuseboard behind the bin, and what is spilling out over the door/mirror?! Depressing stuff.

The reflection of all the mold they're trying to hide... Classy!

So they photoshopped the mould out and forgot the reflection. A nice intro to your new honest landlord.

I think it's more to do with that old mirror being rotten (reflective silver falling off) than mould. But it is of course an ALL expenses spared flat!
I doubt that the agent would bother to photoshop out mould if he puts in a pucture of a broken curtain pole. :P
