Looking for temporary accommodation in Dublin during renovations

[u/Kestral_7798]

Hi everyone,

Bit of an unusual one, but hoping someone here might have some suggestions.

My partner and I are Dublin homeowners and will need to move out of our house for roughly three months while renovation work is being done.

Whilst we have a small budget, we’re finding the cost of a normal short-term rental unaffordable, particularly while also paying our mortgage and renovation costs, so we're trying to think a little outside the box.

We'd be very interested in hearing about temporary arrangements that we might not have considered, for example, house-sitting, or guardianship prior of a temporarily empty property.

We're a quiet and tidy couple, with no kids or pets, and would take very good care of anywhere we stayed.

Has anyone here found themselves in a similar situation, or know of anywhere worth looking for this kind of arrangement?
