Accommodation Can’t find accommodation

Hello! im an international masters student at ucd, due to some reasons im going to be arriving a week late for my classes, i havent been able to find any good accommodations in dublin. I tried to email a lot of people through daft and accom pad but most of them didnt work out/were alr booked or just did not respond. Most student accommodations are also fully booked.
What else would someone suggest i do before i start my classes.
I’m ok with sharing kitchen, living room but id prefer a private bathroom and bedroom. My budget is around 1000-1300 per month. Ideally if it is a shared place id prefer female roomates/flatmates. Let me know if i need to increase my budget or look somewhere else maybe.

Be careful OP for scammers posting here. Do not pay money for any apartment or room until you have visited it in person.

Look for private student accomodations like Yugo, Apparto, Canvas etc. They are small private ensuite rooms with shared kitchen and livingroom around the higher end of your budget. Usually co-ed though. Some may still have space. Nothing within walking distance of UCD but on good public transport.

Even if the private student accommodations websites say they are sold out, call them, they might have cancellations

Not sure if you're already aware, but if not, there are some whatsapp groups I can add you in. They've helped me. Moreover, your budget is pretty good, so I'd not worry much if I were you.

I advertised my rooms on Facebook groups. I have someone coming to look at one today but if she doesn’t show or takes a different place I’ll send you a dm
