We posted a piss take picture a while back showing just how ridiculous some of the accommodation in Dublin can be, but the reality can be even worse.
Take a peek at the pictures below to see the nine weirdest Irish apartments ever posted online.
1. Urban Females Need Not Apply

2. Sick of that long walk between your bed and the shower?
Well, this is just plain practical.
3. This roomy number
It's 'roomy' in the sense that it's room-like rather than an actual room. I mean, it's definitely almost a room.

4. This guy really wants to know his tenants...
Of course, it's perfectly acceptable for a landlord to want some background information on their tenants. However, we're pretty sure there is a fine line between reasonable and too far, and this landlord just pole-vaulted right over it.
5. Talk about killing two birds
This ad boasted a delightful feature, whereby you could actually sit on the toilet and still be within tooth brushing distance of the sink.
Where do we sign?
6. Would you like some room with that mattress?
Wherever I lay my hat is my h... okay there's no space to lay my hat here.
7. Are you eligible for this house of learned men?
We all expect to jump through a few hoops to keep our landlords happy, like showing them a bank statement or references from previous landlords. However, this guy expects you to have a third level education.
8. Do we detect hyperbole?
Would we call that an 'area'? Would we? Really?

9. Well, it's got... 'personality'
We'll be in touch. Thanks for showing us around!

A Skort by Any Other Name On a humid afternoon this weekend at St Peregrine’s GAA Club Blanchardstown, west of Dublin, thirty camogie players took the field not in the sport’s traditional skorts, but in shorts. They weren’t in war paint or waving placards but they may as as well have been. The Kilkenny and […]

At the core of the problem is a pattern all too familiar in public transport systems: big-picture ambition undercut by everyday mismanagement.What happened in Dublin over the past six months […]

Remember 2007? Every Irish Leaving Cert oral exam was essentially a panic attack punctuated by shaky mentions of “cúlú eacnamaíochta.” Now, the discourse is back but 2025-ified. Instead of being pumped into us via well meaning language teachers, this time it is fuelled by TikTok sleuths dissecting every minor inconvenience as proof we’re already in […]
A survival guide for the tragically trendy now being bullied by signage. So. It’s sunny. You’ve got your tiny sunglasses on, your €17 graphic tee is cropped just enough to show the tattoo you got in a moment of heartbreak, and your Sambas have barely touched grass. You’ve done your civic duty and supported a […]
Waking up at 5AM is slightly more tolerable when there’s the Best Sunrise Views in Dublin and the opportunity to flex on main. There’s a specific kind of person who voluntarily wakes up at sunrise. They’re either spiritually awakened, deeply anxious, on a wellness bender, or just trying to feel something before the workday starts. […]
