    FindAHome is pretty dreadful too. No photos, rarely any indication of rent, can never link people to specific listings.

    I found it frustrating that landlords who were renting houses per room put the houses in the normal section instead of the shared section where it should be. It wastes time and just annoys me

    The main problem is slimey landlords trying to promote their property to the detriment of the whole system. For example Galway landlords will put houses in the Dangan area under 'Newcastle' as it is much nearer to town & NUIG, despite Dangan having it's own section on the site. There are several properties from out in the East-side of the city, nearly an hours walk from town which are under 'City Centre'.

    Found another exploit some landlords use. Instead of stating the full rent price, or even the rent per room, they will "accidentally" put the rent per person in as the total rent, so a 3-bed property will appear at an astoundingly cheap €350 when it's really €1050. Again, this could easily be avoided with a bit of site moderating
