The internet is loving this hilariously honest Daft.ie ad in Athlone

Now this is honesty.

Anyone who has spent time searching for a room to rent while you're working or at college knows how frustrating it can be.

Let's say the ad describes the room as 'Spacious, cozy and quiet.' 

What that actually means is: 'The room is barely bigger than a gym locker. The window doesn't shut all the way, but if you get creative you can stay slightly warm. And we'll be throwing mid week ragers, so hope you like being awake at 5am.' 

Basically, there's a lot of false advertising going on when it comes to finding the right room. Which is why it's nice to finally see some honesty in a rental ad.

This house in Athlone, Co. Westmeath offers a thoroughly realistic description of what to expect.

The ad starts off with the title, 'useless information'.

"House share available in Woodville Close," the ad states.

"Close to no amenities, unless you love motorways, Spar, and Bucaneers Rugby. If you work for Ericsson then you'll practically live at work, which is really nice if you're super-positive about it."

You have our attention... where is this going?

"House is in a quiet family area where there are far too many families with far too many kids making far too much noise and asking far too many questions."

"There is a yappy dog next door. She is small and angry all the time and has no qualms with barking all night right by the vent in your room. You will not warm to this dog and if you somehow do then none of the neighbours will trust you and you will be ostracised at the annual Woodville Ice-Cream Social.''

Not the Ice-Cream social!

"The house is well lit and I have seen to this personally. The living room really gives it a romantic feel, while there is a disco light in the hall (pictured). The available bedroom has fairy lights around the upper-edge but these are mine and I will be taking them with me.

I just think they're super-cute and I wanted you to see them. There are other lights and candles throughout the house in odd places."
