Temporary Living Options in Ireland (cost, country, places, people)

[rbwpi]

Thinking about spending a month or two in Ireland in order to get a feel for the country. Possibly Galway or Killarney as they would be less expensive than Dublin and more representative of Ireland. What would be an reasonable option for a living arraignment? Would it be possible to rent a furnished apartment/flat with utilities included? If yes, what would the approximate cost be? Can you suggest any other options, other than sharing/roommates?

Usually places for rent don't include utilities if you're renting an apartment. Maybe if you rent a room with people it would all be lumped into one.

You could try Daft.ie - Property for sale and houses for sale or rent in Ireland there is all sorts in there.

You can actually rent something via airbandb, vrbo, etc...or any of the websites that do vacation rentals. You can also find a hostel if you're on a budget. There are plenty. You'll want to check of course if there's a limit on how many days. Since you're planning on visiting for a while, then you'll probably want to stay in several regions during the course of your visit.
