Apartment rentals: Affordable city breaks.
from:
Article:
If you're considering a city break, renting an apartment is
usually an affordable and good-value option.
For a mid-range apartment in most cities, you will pay about the
same per night as for a standard double room in a three or four
star hotel, even though the added benefits of privacy,
self-catering facilities and more space.
A holiday apartment is a flat in which you tend to your own
needs in your own way. It offers you all the modern conveniences
of home and kitchen provides you with the leisure to cook or
prepare snacks at any time. You can wake up in the morning at
your leisure, make your own coffee or tea and lounge around.
You are living in a neighborhood in a foreign country as a part
of the local life. You are experiencing the life, culture and
economy of the country and people.
Barcelona Apartment rental vs Barcelona Hotel
- You save money renting an apartment. Not many other tourists
think of staying in a holiday apartment while the high demand
for hotel rooms has pushed up its rates.
- It can be easier to find available accommodation in an
apartment during the peak holiday seasons when most of the hotel
rooms are booked up.
- You will also be able to find apartments in Barcelona
locations that are difficult or too expensive to find a hotel
e.g. the beach area.
- When there are more than 2 people in your group you will save
even more as the average apartment will cost less than the price
of a double room in a hotel.
- Staying in an apartment can work particularly well for
families. Instead of all being holed up in one bedroom, as is
normally the case in a hotel, adults and children can sleep in
separate rooms. Having a sitting-room means that the children
have somewhere to play during the day if they get tired of
sightseeing. It also means that you have somewhere to relax in
the evenings after they have gone to bed.
- You have a landlord to contact if you need assistance.
What's the downside? I guess the downside of staying in an
apartment is that you have to be your own concierge, ticket
agent and cook.
How to find your apartment
- The internet is full of agencies with detailed information on
reserving properties.Guidebooks contain the names and addresses
of agencies booking hliday apartments. The government tourist
offices also use to have that information.
- Study the area you want to visit and decide where you do not
want to stay, e.g. if there is a high-crime area or an expensive
area. Check maps to see if the area has ready access to the
subway, buses, and train stations. If you plan to rent a car be
sure there is parking nearby.
- Make a list of what you need to make yourself comfortable:
internet, washing machine, diswasher, dryer.. Remember: The more
appliances you need, the more you will have to pay for the
apartment.
- Get information on several apartments before making your final
decision
If you try it, a stay in a holiday apartment will surely prove
to be the best vacation you ever have.
