Some charlatan converted their utility closet into a ‘flat’. €600 a month. For fuck’s sake! And before anyone from NYC or London chimes in, this whole island has less people than either of those cities!
I can only imagine how horrible it would be to live in such a confined space. I mean sure I’ve seen small studio flats in London but nothing like that.
Urgh.
Shit man, and I thought Reykjavik was expensive.
Having just returned from Dublin, I gotta say, Dublin’s in the running for the world’s most expensive city. I don’t know how anybody can even afford to eat there. I thought Edinburgh was bad, but £5 for a pint? (Not even in Temple Bar!) You don’t pay that even on the Royal Mile, here!
I applaud the minimalist approach and the mental discipline (and large wallet) of the prospective tenant.
Looks to be about the same square feet of many Japanese rooms, although less square and more rectangular.
East Wall Road? That sounds familar…
Oh yes, free-energy merchants Steorn are based there. At least the heating bills will be low… 
I love that the Irish property site is called Daft, btw…
Your property has a bathroom. 
In Central London, even garages cost a fortune:
the record-breaking £628,199 ($1,107,000) achieved in a bidding war in 2006 for a 20ft by 9ft garage…
the vendor kept the garage back as she felt it was an asset that could only increase in value. We have just let it at £6,000 ($10,500) a year for her…

Ah, the wonders of fish eye photography.
I reckon the bathroom is inside the black cabinet, no?
No shit, Sherlock. Should specify, noone over 1.50 meters tall, and under 45 kilos. For your belongings it shouldn’t be more than one suit, two pairs of socks and leave your shoes by the street door. Geez, forget it, not even Superman could change his clothings in this place.
How much air is in there anyway? I bet 20 minutes tops, if you keep quiet and don’t waste oxygen.
Oh my God. Look at photo number 6. Either they’ve installed GIANT electrical sockets, or that sink is about 4 inches in diameter!
And I don’t think they’ve installed giant anything.
Where did you pay £5 a pint? or do you mean €? You should have given us a bell could have brought you to the cheap dives.
That place sucks for size, but it is clean and in good shape. You’ll find places like that for what that one rents at or more all over the USA. We do have a shortage of affordable housing for anybody in this country making even double the minimum wage. The same thing that has people now losing the houses they bought during the last few years raised the rental prices just as badly. We do have a lot of homeless and they are not all crazy misfits.
That place at least doesn’t have exposed sewage pipes and unfinished walls without insulation, and bad windows the that don’t stop the wind. They’d charge about $350 in this town for one the size you referenced with all the defects I listed. unfortunately the slum lords of the city got the city council to not pass rental inspection requirements last fall, because it wouldn’t be fair. Had these people been forced to spend a week in one of the slum houses here the vote would have been different I’m sure. Energy costs are high and they don’t even have to met minimum energy efficiency requirement to the rentals.
Did I miss something, or is there a distinct lack of a shower in that bathroom?
As I said in the OP London and NYC don’t count. They pack millions and millions of people into a relatively small area.
Haven’t you heard of toilet plume? Just flush, and you’ll get a good soaking in a bathroom that size.
I wonder if it includes a lovely view of the vacant lots to the East?
(url points to:)
they’re not vacant lots. There’s a lot of industry yards along there.
In Dubai, such a space would go for perhaps 4-5000 AED/mo ($1090 - $1335)… but the landlord would expect a full year’s rent up front… as much as $16K.
To be fair, they’ve already taken the tenant to the cleaners.
