This is called having your cake and being a cunt too
According to some in a previous post it’s a good deal as it’s cheaper than a hotel 😂
A 4 month lease as well jfc
Jasis lads I should invest in property in Dublin
Disgraceful, this behaviour needs to be outlawed
Sure its cheap enough that this would suit someone who usually works from home and needs to travel to the office and a cheap place to stay for a couple days. Works out at about 50/night. Not bad.
Not every-thing is for everyone.
I like that Daft tells you what schools are nearby, as this is clearly suited to a young family.
If you commute to college on Monday morning, sleep there Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday. You only have to be homeless / find the ride once a week and then go home again after college, all for 560 euro a month.
I’ll be downvoted for this, but this is actually a very good deal. You’d be surprised by the amount of people who rent 1-1.2k rooms and are never there Fri-Mon.
In this way they free up the “regular” rooms for others and pay less for what they actually need.
Not bad value in a well sought after area, in fairness.
This is probably targeting workers who have been forced to return to the office more frequently having bought a home in the countryside.
Your options are 4 hour commute, quit your job, sell your house or rent a room a few nights a week closer to work. Depressing.
Does anyone have any faith that Fine Gael and Fianna Fail will fix the housing crisis? It’s gotten A LOT worse over the 5 years, and it was already a crisis before then.
It seems like we’ve literally done nothing.
Yeah, build more 4 bed housing estates instead of high-rise, high-density apartments. That should help the situation. /s
Looks lovely
Lads over in r/dublin today saying we don’t need protests against the state of housing in this country….
Could be good for someone who does two days a week on the office but lives in a non commutable distance…. Could be cheaper then a hotel. I know a lot of people who stay in hotels 2-3 nights a week and wfh 2-3 days.
Daft is a great name for that site. They were visionaries on that one in fairness
Grand if you moved way out during COVID and now have to be present in the office a few days a week.
Can’t really draw any conclusions about the market as a whole from this one listing.
12days for 560 quid 😭
I know a girl who is locked into paying 1200 a month for a room in Grand canal dock cos she has to commute 3 times a week to office in Dublin, she lives in Donegal with her fiance, I’m sure this kind of advert is aimed at people like her who have to come in for the 3 days
I hope whoever takes this, really gets their money’s worth by being as weird, annoying and aroma creating as possible during their sporadic 3 night stays.
Could it be a tax thing- like they’re marketing it for 3 days a week because the other 4 days you pay cash and they don’t declare the income?
(N.b. I’m not condoning this).
There’s general outrage here about the 3 days a week thing. I’ve done that as a renter when I lived in Dublin and had to commute to cork. It’s a fairly common thing.
Homestly, who cares? They’re not obliged to rent out their spare bedroom. If nobody’s interested it’ll be left empty.
In fairness its cheaper than an airbnb
This makes sense. More places should do it… doctors and professionals that commute would use this… it’s not for single mothers and alcoholics
What are you all on about? Are you pretending to not know what remote or hybrid working is? Are you pretending not to know that lots of people bought outside Dublin while working remotely? Are you pretending not to understand why people took well paying remote jobs with companies in Dublin while continuing to live somewhere cheaper? Some deliberately ignorant nonsense in these comments. Either that or they’ve been unemployed so long they don’t understand how jobs work anymore.
