What's with that last picture - somewhat algae-infected mini-infinity pool with 3 massage tables next to it, complete with towels folded on them?

Also, I'd be worried about there not being any photos of the inside....

I actually stuck that picture into reverse image search and it pops up as a stock "backyard oasis" photo - I sincerely doubt it has any connection to the property.

Which makes it all weirder.

Not especially funny, but certainly one of the most interesting photos I've seen on Daft:


From this house share (and a little more background on the place here - although I laughed at "At almost 3000 sq ft, it is a substantial house that will be big enough for most families" - what families is this not enough for - the Duggers?)

If it was real it would definitely suit someone into synchronized trampolining.

BTW the English is also just a little suspect.

I'd pay someone not to live there. The photo with all the stuffed toys is something you'd see in your nightmares before waking up in a cold sweat. Why would you put up a photo of something like that?!?!

It's like something from a Stephen King film...

F*cking hell, that's real horror movie stuff.

Good horror movie stuff too, just filling the viewer with a growing sense of dread through eerie images, such as a photo of stuffed toys above the fireplace.

EDIT: House share too. "Yes, I decorated it myself."

It's got the bones of a beautiful house.


Unfortunately it may also have the bones of a few former residents :eek:

It also has what appears to be some form of bottle display which forms part of the wall between two of the rooms. Would love to see the place in person!

Hope you don't mind, OP, but this one really needed an imgur backup for posterity :eek:

It's probably just viral marketing for a film or something.

You could be right, would someone really live in a place like that?

Pilly nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to rental properties in Dublin

It's very cheap for Parnell Square and you seem to be getting the whole house.

It's summer let (sub let I would imagine), maximum 3 months, which might explain the price. Some poor ("Artsy") student probably trying to offload it while they're off for the summer.

It looks semi-derelict. It'd be a fanastic place with a bit of rennovation and preserving the features.

Presumably a bit of an artsy type living there with the strange close-ups of the ornamentation. I actually like the spooky teddy installation :pac:

You're not a millions miles off, this apartment got to the final 3 in RTE's "Home of the Year".

All they need to do is lose the teddy picture and install a marble bathroom

Kind of in a depressing way.... a bit like visiting Chernobyl on a wet day

It's not a photo. Each toy contains the soul of previous tenants.

Oh, you're right! I thought they were matching pieces of wall art but now that I look closer I see what you mean. Which obviously means no privacy from the living area either.

Looks like a person is in there too.

There is a reflective surface at the back of the wire/bottle thing. The 'person' is the photographer.

..or at least what remains of the photographer in this mortal realm! :eek:
