Useful platforms to find accommodation

  • Daft.ie: the most widely used website for rentals.

  • Rent.ie: rental options for students and young professionals.

  • Facebook Marketplace and housing groups: a good alternative, but always proceed with caution.

Tips for your search

  • Start looking before you travel.

  • Consider temporary options (hostels or student residences) for the first few weeks.

  • Never send money without signing a contract or seeing the place in person.

  • Flat-sharing is common and a great way to save money and meet new people.
