Oh.
A “one-bedroom studio apartment in a beautiful residential area off the Clybaun Road [in Galway]… This studio is a self-contained unit suitable for one person only.”

Looks nice.
Still wouldn’t live in Galway, though.
Grab a beer from the fridge without getting out of bed. Bliss.
Let’s keep the recovery going.
where do you put your stuff?
In the oven of course
Great for a smoking jacket
Clothes in the oven and books etc in the fridge?
Poo in the sink?
All mods cons within arms reach..what more could you ask for, for 736 euros a month.
Jeeeeaaayysus. Me and the missus are paying that each for a whole house in Dublin. That is seriously taking the mick.
FFS. Just rent a room and let them use the kitchen. Slash the price and would probably work out the same if being tax compliant.
dont forget, you can email the landlord from the page.. whenever these go up on BS i usually email them tellin them theyre the kind of greedy fupper who helps ruin the rental market of the country
+1 I thought it was just me. I’ve emailed once or twice too giving the link to all the comments here and saying shame on you you greedy fupper. lol
.. studio apartment .. the absolute nerve. imagine how cold that would be in this weather.. those rubbish windows and the little elec heater .. horrible
It’s basically a converted garage isn’t it?
Greedy scumbags.
and more than likely in his own gaff, which likely means tenant and landlord will come face to face a dozen times a week. most people would have more shame than to get themselves into that.
if anyone is bothered, they could check whether the landlord has planning permission to rent this out as a separate dwelling. chances are not.
Maybe you should all consider the landlord’s situation before calling him or her a ‘greedy scumbag’ etc. Might be struggling to pay a huge Celtic Tiger mortgage, might be out of work and looking for ways to hold onto the house. The narrative in this country of Landlord = Rich, Grasping B%stard is moronic and pervasive.
It’s really only on Broadsheet, Rabble and the Twitter echo chamber where such views prevail. In some cases it’s even more hardline i.e ALL property is theft
it’s ok to exploit someone else if your own need is great enough?

Then look for an ACTUAL HOUSEMATE – not someone in a worse situation to pay an extortionate price for a fupping kennel.
Grouphug for the poor poor scumlord.
Maybe he/she should put bunkbeds in the hovel and jack the price up.

Lovely, says it all Starina
Traditional Irish landlord extortion, there is no shame in Ireland’s rental market
Hang on, I thought that was Twink’s place…
Ah now c’mon
Talk about snowflakes
You should a’ seen some of the places in Castlewood Avenue, Rathmines Road, Mount Pleasant, SCR etc
Back in the day
About a 5th of your wages
If I remember right
Is about what we’d pay in a share
1/4 for a nice bedsit with heating in a nice house
We were evicted from our hole in the ground, we had to go and live in a lake.
As long as there was a good chipper and a daycent pub handy
‘Sur what harm
have to hand it to Frilly
He’s more stuck in the past than a parish preset
Is he
Permit me to observe Frilly your experience of life does or should not automatically be that of a coming generation. I’ve read a lot of your pieces and they seem to be very bitter about younger people
I think he’s a she… apologies if I’m wrong Frilly
She’s definitely confused about what decade she’s living in as much as I am about her gender then. Sorry Frilly.
We’re supposed to have moved on a bit since the Stone Age.
Apparently we only have moved on to the chipper age
