Looking for accommodation in Dublin - TalkCeltic

Tomastimski · 17-09-2007, 04:40 PM

Looking for any info that might prove useful when looking for place to stay in Dublin.
I have interview this Thursday, and if that goes well it's a distinct possibility I'll be moving over September/October so, need to search for place to stay. If you can let me know areas to consider/avoid it would be much appreciated, also, if there are any doogy agents/scams that sort of info would be invaluable. I'll be worling south side of city if that's any help...

Cheers

Depends what budget ye looking at and south side is better. Theres a few hotels around and ive seen some B&B's around

Tomastimski · 17-09-2007, 06:18 PM

B&B might be an option but, eventually I was looking to get a 1 bed flat..budget would be about €150 pw for B&B and flat about €850 pm, I understand the tax system is different to UK therefore, won't know if the figure can go up or by how much...

You'll be lucky at that price mate! Dublin is one expensive City!
Good luck with the interview.

Thanks for the feedback guys...yeah it's expensive but, sure there must be more choice at those prices outside the city??? problem is I don't know the area that well but, I will. Reason for going there is down to limited opportunities here and, the craic's good.

cheers

Commuting from outside the city would be best bet and get the dart or soemthing into the city centre, might have to get up earleir but would be bout 1/2 the price
