That’s absolutely scandalous. Imagine paying someone €1960 a month to live in a van that’s with not worth much more than that, with no proper sanitary facilities, services or power and 0 space, no insulation, and then for it to probably be towed away by DCC.
Yet people will consider it, because they are so desperate. The housing situation is so fucked up.
Makes no sense, that would be towed away within a few days
Vultures, vultures everywhere. Airbnb is a cancer to the long term rental market.
Is that parked on double yellow lines in the picture? This has to be a piss take…
What next a shed ?
Oh wait.
A ‘rustic’ van ? … In other words, a rusty van ?
god help us.
I feel sick..
Matt Foley is looking for a roommate.
That’s made to look like it’s on the doorstep of the AirBnB offices
That’s clearly a piss take 😆
Why don’t the government just outright ban Air B&B?
Nobody is renting a van for a month for €2k. It’s one of those Airbnb “experiences”. Campervans, house boats, log cabins and so on. It’s €65 per night but OP tried to book a month for maximum outrage.
What we should be outraged about is the wankers buying council houses built for families only to have them end up as short term lets. This camper is nothing. If anything, this is a good example of what Airbnb should be about.
Now your living in a van down by the river dream can come true!
Fuck you Roel
Has to be a spoof
Social. Media. Experiment.
How is this supposed to work? No insurance means you are just going to get fined if parked in the city
Burn it out.
0 bathrooms 😳
Van life… Wtff is this
at least if it was cheap youd do it for the laugh if nothing else
“Vanlife in the heart of Dublin” if our A&Es worked well I’d be going into one right now because I think a vein just popped off in my head
That’s a joke OP….
This can’t be serious
Relax everyone – this is protest performance art.
This can’t be real. It’s too far from the closest Starbucks – I wouldn’t pay more than €1,500/month for this. /s
Lads this is Airbnb. Nobody is living in airbnbs if they can help it. Also if anything this can only be good for people buying houses as it’s just for people on holiday.
I do agree that it looks shite, I just dont think it’s worth getting bent out of shape over
I’m pretty sure this doesn’t meet Airbnb’s TOS for campervan accommodation. Campervans have to be at a fixed address, and afaik in Ireland you need planning permission to have any long term usage of a stationary mobile home (which is part of why the “tiny house” movement struggles here) and they definitely don’t have planning permission for parking on double yellow lines on Hanover Quay.
It says it comes equipped with a portable toilet but doesn’t say anything about the privacy or sanitation of the toilet for longer stays (where do you dump its contents?). It has no bathing facilities but makes no mention of that anywhere (other than “no shampoo” in the amenities list). It says it comes with a powerbank for charging your stuff but how do you charge the powerbank if you can stay there up to a month?
>**Providing uninhabitable spaces**You should not provide spaces with sub-standard cleanliness or an undisclosed lack of running water or electricity. You should not provide spaces that are not legitimate sleeping quarters (e.g. camping gear), not stationary for the duration of the stay (e.g. moving boats), or lack access to dedicated toilet facilities (e.g. directing guests to use public toilets).
Also the host seems to have the same camper van listed twice in two different listings, meaning it could get double booked and he is driving it back and forth between the city and the beach. One of the guest reviews on the beach location said the host will just ask you where you want to stay and drive you and the van there.
That’s a nice representation of Ireland’s housing crisis
It’s cheaper to rent a one bed apartment in Manhatten than it is to rent the same in Dublin.
It is pathetic that no one can tell this is clearly a joke.
Hope it’s Robbed
What part of that is rustic?
I know what I’m doing in town tomorrow…
To their credit, they’re a decent photographer. Managed to make the interior look massive in that second picture.
*Must have a minimum number of Insta followers to show off how focking cool you are*
this isn’t real, it’s a joke?
You know the rental market is fucked when someone posts something like this as a joke and people take it seriously.
Not too unrealistic in a world where I can throw a mattress in my garden shed and charge some poor desperate student €800 for monday-friday accommodation.
Totally going along with it until the last picture.
Double yellows. That has to be the punchline. Surely to god.
Ireland is beyond a joke now.
I could sleep in my car for free.
“And because of this HOUSING CRISIS, I’ve found myself LIVING IN A VAN *deep inhale* DOWN BY THE RIVER”
Who knew that SNL skit would still be relevant all these years later?
Watched a video of a girl in NYC who done something like this except it was all by herself.
Report them? There’s no way this is legal…
What a joke!
Some people are just soft
Been lurking from the US for a couple weeks just listening, the COLC you are going through is horrid. My sympathies. My question is how in the world do any of you still live there at all?

How is it not a burnt out shell at this stage.

I found the ad online to see if it was real.
Toilet facilities listed – local public toilet, 30c per use.[Image](https://www.airbnb.de/rooms/696505880674520713?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=97a92873-0430-4d28-83f0-9c39619c8a31)

Airbnb lists their standards [here](https://www.airbnb.ie/trust/standards):
>**Providing uninhabitable spaces**You should not provide spaces with sub-standard cleanliness or an undisclosed lack of running water or electricity. You should not provide spaces that are not legitimate sleeping quarters (e.g. camping gear), not stationary for the duration of the stay (e.g. moving boats), or lack access to dedicated toilet facilities (e.g. directing guests to use public toilets).
