Looks like that weird lino type stuff they usually put in office bathrooms.

judging by the decay, I would say at least 10 years ago it was abandoned.

That will get at least 80k. Properties where there is currently a house are a way more like to get planning permisson so it will probably be bought with the outlook of being demolished and redeveloped!

And it is on a acre of land so protential for big house with big garden. All about the bigger picture

You missed "no food" allowed.

You misread the ad. It says room only no food

I.e. not a digs setup.

Crazy price! And who would want to go home/somewhere else every single weekend?

It didn't say 'no food allowed'. It said 'room only no food', as in the money covers the room only and not food, like you might have in a digs.

I was more bemused that 3 of the 5 photos were of the jacks.

800 euro for an unfurnished room available for only 5 days a week and they're trying to be picky about the tenant. Ar Aibheas ar fàd..

Other things to note

The neighborhood is pretty quite, but if you’re truly looking for peace and quiet, this might not be the place for you as we are in the city so you can expect a certain level of noise. It’s also probably worth mentioning that Dublin City Tipi is adjacent to a railway line so expect the occasional train passing which in fact might the highlight of your stay if you are lucky enough to experience a steam train passing up close!

To be fair .. setting up a crappy wigwam in your garden and renting it out on AirBNB is a good business idea.

Hipsters love that crap. :pac:

I think I'd prefer my wigwam overlooking a lake in Alaska or some beautiful scenery here in Ireland, not under a fcuking train track in Dublin.

Its all horrific. Don't think I'll ever move home unless I make a fortune :-(. Maybe the thread should be merged with the huge rise in adults still living at home thread.

I'm not sure whether I think this guy is a genius or if its some kind of terrible sign of the times. A tent as holiday accommodation in a city? No, I don't think so.

Thing is, it won't have cost him a whole lot to put up, or to advertise - and if there's equal lunatics out there who want to avail of it and pay for it - win/win all round.

I think that qualifies as some kind of genius. Not my kind of genius for sure, but some kind.

no, sorry, this is not what hipsters do. It's definetely not hip paying 100€ to sleep in a tent in someones backyard with a trainline next to it. It's something for loosers.

Probably aimed at students. However it's a ridiculous price for a student to pay.

no, it's not a genius putting up an ad like this because nobody will do it. maybe one or two other idiots, but not more, so no groundbreaking genius idea here.

We're getting close to someone actually flogging Direct Provision-themed accommodation on Airbnb. Or maybe renting out a park bench: "Just like the movie Adam & Paul, hipsters! Grab your sleeping bag!"

Clearly a case of drunk while on the job. Im not sure if im talking about the architect or the builders, maybe both?? The staircase has not one but 3 windows or 'viewing stations'

Sure, the bank of Mum & Dad will be called upon to finance it, and landlords know that!
