Flat to fetch €5,000 a month

IT costs almost the same per night as the five-star Jabel Ali golf resort and spa in Dubai. But then, you do have a view of the spire and the lovely skyline of Dublin’s fair city.

A one-bedroom apartment costing €5,000 a month to rent has gone on the market in Grafton Street and is believed to be one of the most expensive rental residential properties ever for its size.

The rent adds up to €60,000 a year (about twice the average industrial wage) or broken down, €166 per night. As the ad placed on the popular daft.ie renting site says, it “must be seen to be believed”.
