Accommodation in Dublin
Looking for short-term accommodation in Dublin but tired of looking for and staying in the same old hotels and hostels with boring interior and a lack of any homely feel to them whatsoever? Well, thanks the world of the internet, there are plenty of accommodation alternatives to be found.
Websites such as 9flats offer a unique alternative to the hotel/hostel humdrum by means of a collaborative consumption model whereby people, acting as hosts, rent out their homes, flats, rooms or even treehouses that they are not using, to visitors from all over the world.
Benefits to the visitor: a home away from home
This scheme offers the visitor a home away from home, providing a more comfortable and relaxing environment in which to stay, free from the structure and routine imposed by hotels and hostels for a competitive price. You will also get your own keys to the accommodation allowing you the freedom to come and go as you wish. Be you a tourist looking to enjoy the traditional Irish music and dancing and enjoying a bit of the dark stuff from the world-renowned Guinness factory, or on a business trip, looking for a nice and cosy place to put your feet up after a hard day’s work at the office. Staying in a host’s home also gives you an insight into their life and experiences, helping to build long-lasting friendships and providing you with the peace of mind of knowing that you have a lovely home to go to and friends to spend time with should you wish to come to Dublin again.
How to do it
Websites such as 9flats offer an easy to use online search to find the ideal place in Dublin to suit your needs and desires with prices, ratings and further details pertaining to description, amenities and house rules, so you never feel like you’re under-informed or out of the loop in the process. So if you want to feel at home whilst exploring the world, 9flats provides the perfect choice of accommodation to make your stay in Dublin a memorable one for all the right reasons.
