    I'm not sure if that bedroom is very... Safe

    http://www.daft.ie/searchrental.daft?id=1325607

    Also, the two armchairs beside the bed is depressing and bizarre!

    That's an exorcism house. Why else would you have the safe there too?

    took my other half a while to spot it :)

    We had this happen back at home in the 90s (thanks to the efforts of a professional decorator). Only our kitchen wallpaper was bowls of fruit, not a somewhat abstract flower design. Stayed up for about 8 years anyway!

    I don't understand, it's a 2-bed, but the kitchen is in one of the bedrooms? Why not just make it a one-bed? I hope people who put up these ads for such terrible places realise they're getting mocked on this thread.


  • Posts: 6,025 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    So , you have to leave the place you pay 750 for, and go urinate elsewhere??
    thats the most bizarre thing Ive ever heard. FFS

    Not just in the bedroom; in the attic bedroom.

    It IS a converted shed.
    I particularly like the "functional workshop beside included in rental price".
    You'd have some neck to charge me to sleep in part of your shed and then not allow me to use the rest of it for my shed-based activities.....cheeky bstards

    Exactly! Large rooms, good location, nice exterior. I can see past decor if the potential is there.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,694 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    Not so much about funny places to rent, but what is with some of the photos that people put up on websites like daft?

    I mean, you're a person whose job is advertising properties for people to rent, and you go and take the worst pictures. Close-up photos of a floor, and one of a lake or mountain or something. Even after looking at the photos, people will have no idea what the place is like.

    I always thought it was so the property would show up in searches that specified 'photos only'. Might be a bit short-term thinking if they're sh*tholes, but the more people that view a property, the more chance that someone will take it (is the reasoning, I would think).

    I hate when there's just one photo and it's of the street that the house is on. Pointless and annoying.

    No no, don't get me wrong, I'm all in favour of having photos. I might not have made that clear. But even with ads that are placed by agencies (as opposed to individuals), in a set of...say 8 photos, there will be one or two where I think, "How on earth did you decide that that was a good photo to upload?"

    Ah, right, gotcha, sorry misread. Yeah, I'm planning on moving in the next couple of months and have seen a good few of them. Very ... perplexing.

    The crying chair is cliched at this stage, every dump has one. The noose gives you a viable opportunity to end your misery.

    Interesting. I never realised Michael Hutchence owned a house in Ireland. Presumably the celeb factor accounts for them not decorating since.
