Holidays are well deserved, and the fruit of your hard work. They are beneficial for both body and soul!So far, nothing new!
However, they can be fraught with problems if you make the wrong choice, especially when it comes to finding the ideal rental property!
We’re therefore going to give you some tips to ensure your holiday will be a success!
Choosing a Rental Agency
To avoid any unpleasant surprises, choose a recognised, professional rental agency, which specialises in the area and has been established for several years.
The advantage of this approach is that you’ll be guaranteed a home that’s ready to move into and is certified by the profession, and has insurance cover to protect you!
To be avoided: agencies that put holidaymakers and landlords in contact with each other – in some cases you are left to yourself when it comes to dealing with contracts, handing over the keys, etc.
The Rental Criteria
Once the choice of service provider has been made, it’s time to choose the rental service, because, yes, it’s important – the wrong choice reduces your chances of having a good holiday by 50%!
Among the most important criteria are:
- The price of the rental property: pay attention to the services that are included in your rental! Ask for a full description!
For example, you can find similar rental properties with a price difference of just a few euros.
However, if one of them offers cleaning services when you leave, give it priority – it will save you a lot of time!
- The geographical location: It all depends on what you are looking for. However, you will probably wish to visit places and go for walks. Choose a rental property near the town centre, or if you have a car. Make sure you don’t choose a rental property that is more than 10-15 minutes from the nearest town.
- Comfort: we’re not talking about luxury, but basic services. Such as cleanliness, amenities, equipment (air conditioning and an Internet connection).
