Twin Bedrooms

6679

I have just spent a few weeks trying to find a new place in Belfast and was bored so I decided to have a look around Dublin just to see what the price difference was.

What got me was the amount of twin bed rooms up on daft. When I went to college (down south) I seen a fair few twin rooms up for rent but I just took that as a student thing. But not once did I come across a twin room advert in Belfast and I had been looking before the students came back.

I shared a room with 4+ people for 3 months while I was on a J1 but wouldnt want to do it again.

Is it only a southern thing? Or well its just that rent in the south is way to expensive?

FYI in Belfast I am paying £220 (€255)

Dublin's an expensive kip! It's amazing to see some of the places that people try to masquerade as "twin" bedrooms. Usually it's just a single room with a double bed shoved into it.

I've a twin room for 270 but then again I'm in a cheap city in Germany. Although it didn't come with any furniture. Thank Buddha for people throwing their old furniture on the street. Acquired a lovely green desk that I found out the front of the apartment

I lived in a one room bedsit with 3 fellow band members during a 2 month residency we had in Paris. Twas the biggest nightmare I ever experienced, I'm a private person and need my own space, or at least an excuse to get away from other people for a few of hours.

That might mean something if you said what you were paying £220 for and the frequency of paying it. It sounds dear for a day in a twin room, but excellent for a year in a penthouse.

£220 a month for a big double bed room, with a nice view and 30 mins walk into the city centre.

Some of the lads in work live in the City centre and they are paying £300-320 which they all have double bed rooms

Gotta hate the misuse of the word "typical".
