As the housing crisis gets worse by the day, it’s now possible to rent a tent in someone’s backyard – yes, you read that right.
The large tent is described as ‘fully waterproof’ with a ‘mini lounge’ as well as ‘blackout sides’ to ensure tenants get a deep sleep.
The tent offers guests the opportunity to “relax and be close to nature”.
Unfortunately, no parties or events are allowed.
Renters of the tent, which is near Phoenix Park, are permitted access to the host’s house for use of the shower and cooking facilities.
Out of four reviews, the host has already earned a five-star rating.
A guest said: “Amazing experience. The tent is clean, has a mattress and a duvet. Very comfortable sleep. Paul is the coolest and communicates well.
’10/10 would still stay in Paul’s tent.’
Host Paul has also been praised for his hospitality and facilities, with people rating the comfort in the tent as “incredible”.
The tent charged €40 per night – not including cleaning costs.
It has since been dismantled AirBnB.
AirBnBs have grown in popularity in recent months, but have come under fire at times.
Last month house hunters were furious after spotting a rental property on the market for €4,200 per month – with the accommodation also acting as an AirBnB rental.
The five-bedroom Dublin property is located in the city center with potential tenants facing a big catch if they seek to move into this property.
Tenants were only allowed to stay in the house for five nights a week – from 2 p.m. Sunday to 10 a.m. Friday, with the property moonlighting as an AirBnB.
Netizens lambasted the owner, calling him ‘greedy’ and ‘disgusting’ after the ad was spotted.
Ciaran Mulqueen, founder and host of Crazy House Prices also took to Twitter to slam the list.
– €4,200/month
– You are only allowed to stay there less than 5 days a week – it is only available from 2pm on Sunday to 10am on Friday – what is this?
– The €4,200 does not include invoices.Sent by one of my subscribers. It’s scandalous. #crazyhouseprices pic.twitter.com/e2DiCQuS9l

He said: “You’re only allowed to stay there less than five days a week – it’s only available from 2pm on Sunday to 10am on Friday – what the fuck ?”
“The €4,200 does not include bills. It’s scandalous. His plan is AirBnB as well as charging €4,200 per month for four and a half days a week.
Ciaran added: “Greed in Ireland would really get you down.”
Since the turmoil the property has been removed from rental sites Rent.ie and AirBnB and many have been shocked by the announcement.
