A new low – (up to!) 3 nights a week, weekdays only, still nearly 600 euro per month.

  1. According to some in a previous post it’s a good deal as it’s cheaper than a hotel 😂

  2. Alarming_Task_2727 on

    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.

  4. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Yeah, build more 4 bed housing estates instead of high-rise, high-density apartments. That should help the situation. /s

  8. Wonder how enforceable this would be… if one were to sign this, pay rent but then technically squat for the other days

  9. Lads over in r/dublin today saying we don’t need protests against the state of housing in this country….

  10. 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.

  11. 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.
