LOL

indeed the best of luck! How much is a 1 double bedroom apt in city center going for about these days 900-1100 yoyos?

I paid about that when I lived in Stoneybatter (even allowing for inflation etc) with a mate. We had a two floor house with 2 bedrooms (small) and kitchen with washing machine and a living room.

I'd say it is possible to find but tricky yes. More difficult is finding a one bed for 100 per week, thats very difficult unless you want a bedsit with a toilet outside type thing.

Oh and you may need to refine your wording. Using the word "apartment" won't get you far for 100€ but if you think in terms of "flat" or "sharing" you will get closer to what you want. Evening heralds prices for apartments are very high but "flats" are lower. You would be looking for a flat I'd say. I could be wrong, Victor usually proves me wrong or at least tries to

First off, most lettings are on a monthly basis in Dublin. €100/week/person = €866/month total. You are very unlikely to get anything near the city centre for that price. I am currently paying €890 (year old rent) for the same accommodation, more than 2.5 miles from the city centre for a apartment in need of work. Than again it is only 15 minutes into the city centre by bus.

And as Gordon suggests, "apartment" has nicer conotations than "flat".

I'm living in a 2 bed apartment in Killester, and it's costing me and a mate €600 each per month.
There is no chance you'll get an apartment in town for €100 per week. Unless, it's a vicious kip!!
Good luck

Hmm.

I heard random rumours about places going in the IFSC for €900, but that was probably just pants.

I know of one place that will be available soon, with central heating, skylights, two bedrooms, doubleglazing, a microwave, cable, fully detached bungalo, in what used to be the back garden of a Victorian four story house in the City Centre.

In fact, I lived there for twenty two years with my mother and all I can say is, if it gets let for less then €2000 per month, the people doing so are doing well.

Did I mention it has a City Centre parking space (Dublin 1) that can be used for as long as the apartment is let?

I'm starting to think €2,200 is a bit more the ballpark.

In short: Good luck finding a cardboard box for €100 per week in the City Centre.

I'm looking for an apt/flat with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, but I'll take two if it's going, and a sitting room and kitchen.
Thanx for the replies by the way,
Calman

"What's the difference between and apt. and a flat?"

An apartment is usually built as an apartment. A flat is usually converted from some other use.

However "apartment" is also a snobbier word than "flat". In spoken language, flat is more casual than apartment.

Council developments tend to get referred to as flats. New private developments tend to get referred to as apartment.

There is no defined or legal difference.

Calman-

Are you looking for an apartment on your own (with your friend), or willing to share with others for 800 per month?

As MBroaders suggests, have a look at www.daft.ie it'll give you a better idea of what you can expect, where you can expect it, and at what price.

You will not rent a 2 bedroom apartment on a week by week basis for 800 Euro per month, hmmm I would guess anywhere in the country. Most landlords insist on a monthly rent, paid a month in advance, with a months deposit. You may have to give 6-8 weeks notice of leaving (or you loose your deposit).

Be realistic.

The usual is the period of letting (= payment period) unless stated otherwise in your lease. There is a statutory requirement for landlords to give 4 weeks notice (not 1 month). It is usually best to advise the landlord when you pay your rent for the last time. But yes, if you advise the landlord during the month it can mean 4-9 weeks.
