Dublin City Council ordered the cessation of an unauthorised letting in March. A visitor who paid €700 a night for an Airbnb property in Dublin reported a shocking experience and urged the letting platform to improve guest safety protections. The renter, Susan Cowie from Aberdeen, alleged water leaked through the ceiling while showering, floorboards were rotting, the gas cooker did not work and there were no fire alarms. The claims point to significant safety and maintenance failures in an allegedly illegal rental, raising concerns about enforcement, platform vetting of listings, and the protection of guests from hazardous conditions.
