    That is wonderful for you, In fairness that noise level was ridiculous, no-one could sleep through that.

    It would probably be in the EA's best interest to rent that place to an employee of one of the bars/clubs on the street.

    I just got an email, they'll easily refund it and I'll drop by and leave the keys.

    This is very friendly and understanding.

    One in a hundred outcome. Fair play to you.

    I'll just go with the student accommodations. At least I can say to people "be quiet at nights" at accommodations. I gotta move out now.

    Don't risk that. It's like playing a game of whack a mole, you tell one crowd to keep it down and then another strikes up the next week, if you are not a student try not to live amongst them. Speaking from experience here :)

    Take this advice OP before you sign anything else.

    Well done on the result. Consider yourself very lucky as that's not the usual response.

    I know but their location is very very close, like 1 minute of walking for me and there are additional sections for post-grads. There will be still noise, but I understand wherever I go in the city there will be noise.

    For quietness, I need to buy a car and rent a house at suburbs which will be so much expensive that I cannot afford because there are no apartments at suburbs and house sharing is basically same with student accommodation, you might have noisy housemates as well.

    The vast majority of the city is perfectly quiet. You picked one of the worst streets possible. In future you should ask a local person what they think about any potential rental. Best of luck.

    PostGrad sections can be quieter is wrong or I should expect some kind of noise everywhere in the city is wrong?

    The notion that you will find blissful peace in a student dorms is wrong. Just wait for college to start. But it will be better than your current place. Definitely.

    There are some really mature, quiet areas of the city with reasonable rent and either close to ucc or on a bus route. As stated above, you should take the advice of locals instead of rushing your decision. Look where that got you last time.

    But, I wish you the best.

    Yeah, definitely ask locals.

    I'm not even from Cork but I fully understood why the place would be noisy at night-time when you said you were living on Washington Street.
