    Went to look at these apartments. Very nice place, clean, modern and safe. Although she has cameras on every corner of the hallways to watch your behavior, and doesn't approve of guests staying over and partying really. But other than that its a lovely place :) And yes about a 7 minute walk to the college, a great location for getting to main street too for nights out ;)

    Ah Great, The Place has been getting great reviews, Cameras st ebery corner haha, oh my mother will be relieved :P Im On The Top Floor, How Big is the place, ive only seen pics of the inside.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,548 ✭✭✭Harps


    Its quite a small building, only 4 stories or so. Great location with the Main Street & Port Road (shops/night life) only a few minutes walk and a big retail park a two minute walk in the other direction.

    Pretty sure theres a grocery shop in the big monstrosity of a building next door which is always handy. Theres also a sex shop on the ground floor if you're interested:p

    My mate lived on the top floor last year nice sized apartment too expensive for me though!

    He never had any bother with her but his flatmate got chucked out as she let her friend stay over for 2 weeks while her friend was apartment hunting.

    Apparently she can be grand but I've had few friends live there in the past and maybe she has learnt her lesson with all the lawyers letters and such but I doubt it.

    If she doesn't like you prepare to find her snooping about your flat/possessions without your permission. So make an effort of being really nice to her and you should be ok! :pac:

    Plenty apartments. You will probably get lost the first few times you come home drunk though with the layout :D

    I HATED those stairs though I mean your legs will get some work out walking whole way up there every day. Elevator has been broke for years so doubt she got it fixed. :pac:

    Think with the top floor you may only have one other flat across from you. Not too sure. That's cool that yous know the lads are doing same course will come in handy :)

    The flat my friend was in had like a small circle window in it! So not sure if you in that one or the one across. It only has room for 2 people anyway. Sitting/Living room is good size compare to the rest of the flats. Plus one of the bedrooms is quite large. Get in before your flatmate and claim that one!

    An Elevator would be handy when drunk:D Yeah i think she mentioned there is only 1 other apartment on the top,
    ah no, if im sharing with a girl, she can have the bigger room, Keep her happy:p

    She told me were not allowed use the elevator and that you've to have a key for it. :( You've to pay extra for the bigger room so it's not first come first served sort of thing. I hope the broadband is decent too!

    I'd say the majority will be first years as nobody goes back!
    By time second year comes people will have made their friends and moved into houses as they work out cheaper.

    Yeah I know my mate was paying a crazy amount of money for that bigger room. Go for the smaller then so!

    Same :D Cannot wait :D:)
    Big hungover head at registration.. nice :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,964 ✭✭✭ToniTuddle


    The Orchard(nightclub part) is 21's at the weekend though only 18's on a Wednesday night. You can always chance it though!

    Not sure if they will keep it like that with all the students coming back as they will be missing out on nice business if they keep it 21's.

    I say go to Orchard for pints this Sunday then onto the Grill. Least then you get to check out the two places.


    Good luck with the move folks!:) Make sure you bring the essentials and lots of tin food from the cupboards at home :p

    Me too and our box is in the sitting room/kitchen, thought she told me there was one in every room. It doesn't really matter because my cable is at least 20ft long but it's a pain dragging cables everywhere.
