Spotahome's opinion
This flat for rent on Foster’s Avenue is a cute and snug garage studio. You don’t get a huge amount of light, but it’s still a great little spot if you don’t mind having the bathroom located outside of the space. Otherwise, it’s clean, with a nice decor and modern appliances. The open area is furnished with a single bed and a single sofa bed, a shelving unit, standalone wardrobe, and a table and chair that can double for dining or studying. The equipped kitchenette occupies the far right corner and has a fridge, hotplate, and microwave. Exiting the flat, you’ll need to go around the corner to find your private bathroom, with contemporary features and heating, located in the laundry room, just past the washer and dryer.
The property is located in the community of Mount Merrion, and it’s pretty much student central here. In fact, the University College Dublin schools of law and business are right around the corner. In the opposite direction and at the same approximate distance, you’ll find the gorgeous Deer Park, where you can relax, jog or picnic. It’s 4 minutes to the nearest Costcutter convenience store and 10 minutes to the local pharmacy. Restaurants are spread out in this part of town, but there is a Pizza Hut and a few other restaurants and cafés near the University, as well as by the park.
What we liked the most
- The flat isn’t large, but furnishings and appliances are modern and there is a comfy vibe.
- You’ll be able to sleep in and still make it to class, since the UCD is so close!
- It's only a 10-minute bus ride to the Odeon Cinema.
- There is a Pizza Hut and a few other restaurants nearby.
Things to keep in mind
- The studio is located in a converted garage; to access the bathroom, you must get outside and enter through another door.
- There is a smoke alarm in the room that makes a noise every few minutes.
- The front door opens directly toward the street, which can also be noisy.
