Funny Houses/Flats to rent

James 007

€190/Week/person!, a total rip off, so I taught until I saw that it is close to Teddys ice-cream and it is BER EXEMPT, I'll take it. You do have your own privacy too, you can close the doors, but before you do you will need to connect up your oxygen mask.

You wouldn't catch two peas in a pod to stay in that.

^ Is the option for cryogenic freezing included in the €190/week?

So it started...

I read about these things and watched some stuff about them. There are pretty cool pod hotels in Japan. I would even try hotel like this for ****s and giggles, just to have experience.
But renting one for about 800eu a month?!?! How much is the rent now in Dublin?! So basically some lad rented out apartment and took a room for himself, then got those two pods inside, charge 800eu per pod and it pays his rent? So free living.

And those pods would cost how many thousands each? Wouldn't be worth it unless you owned the house without a morgage.

Surely that pod listing is fake?

Because what nutter would put 2 pods (Hey, perhaps even 4?) in a room when you can just put one or two bunk beds up. Like, the price they are asking for is mental too. Think we all can agree. But ... I'm shaking my head right now at those pods. Like what headcase thinks that's a good idea :pac: It's something out of those Toyko hotels.

But it does have to be said that the greed of people. That's a subletting if I ever saw one.


*edit*
Actually.... the listing linked back to an Irish website selling those pods. So, yeah, property never existed. Just the website trying to promote itself.

At least you'd have a bit of peace and quiet in those pods though. And they look very clean.

Until you have a feed of pints and a kebab before hitting the hay.A man could suffocate in one.

I actually feel slightly nauseous thinking out the toxic plume that would emerge upon staggering out of your pod the following morning.

The sheer neck of some people

For the first time now available to rent in Ireland. Japanese-style sleeping pods as seen in forward-thinking organisations such as Google, Facebook, etc. Pods are a new form of short to medium term accommodation, sharing with others, and may not be suitable for everyone. This is your own individual sleeping pod. Foreigners and people from abroad are very welcome, aswell as locals.

Everything is sad and mental about it, however if I was ever in the unfortunate position of having to share a room with 1, 2 or 3 strangers and pay through the nose for it, I'd far rather be in a pod than a bunk bed.

Imagine if you came in St Patricks night full of drink? ..... and had a bad Kebab or five?

Indeed, anyone who refers to Facebook as a forward thinking organisation is really taking the piss. Uninspiring, puritanical, uncooperative platform with about as much forward thinking as a FG/FF coalition. Forget Trump or Brexit, the biggest indictment on 2016 is that Facebook is still the world's dominant social media site. People are f**king stupid.

forward-thinking organisations such as Google, Facebook, etc.

If they're really forward thinking, perhaps they should provide pods on site for the more desperate employees so they don't get ripped off!

and what's with this awful blue light? if it would be a nice, cosy warm orangy light, it would have a bit of a more appealing effect...

retalivity

I stayed in a few pod hotels in japan and they are grand for what they are - functional, quiet, private, and built into the wall in hallways with communal bathrooms. If youre in transit somewhere or in a short break where all you need a bed to sleep, they are perfect.

Racking and stacking them in a period house in dun laoighre though.....no.

Imagine being in the lower bunk or the lower bunk in a room with 2 bunk beds and your room mates come in St Patricks night full of drink and had a bad Kebab or five?!:eek: I'd far prefer they were enclosed in their capsules and me safely ensconced in mine!

Well spotted, that would be my assumption too.

Nothing could turn me onto a property more than the possibility of getting involved in hard work :rolleyes:

I was going to say 'Holy ****', but seems there's no bathroom at all so you couldn't even have one!

I love the way they put it.

Probably because those photos were taken >10 years ago and the place is completely run down now.

I actually don't think it was even built 10 years ago! But even then, old photos doesn't mean terrible quality.

I am actually wondering what was used to take the photos.

Whatever it was, given the state of them, you would think an actual estate agent would make the 10 minute drive from their office in Limerick city centre to take some proper photos.
