Rent an apartment for your holiday... why not?

Sick of scouring the world’s hotels in order to find the perfect holiday? Fed up of feeling like you’re always living out of your suitcase? There is a solution: forget hotels, rent an apartment! This new trend of accommodation is rapidly gaining popularity. Rather than staying in a hotel on their holidays, holidaymakers are opting for this more attractive solution. Renting an apartment is usually more cost-effective than paying for several nights at a hotel. This is especially the case if you are travelling in a small group of 3-8 people. For example, if you are a group of four on a week-long holiday, an apartment at £400 will cost you much less than 6 nights at a hotel at £50 per person.

Besides the price, renting an apartment affords you additional comfort. More than just a simple room to sleep in, it is possible to actually make yourself feel at home in them, as opposed to a hotel where you really feel like the only reason you are there is to sleep. Equipped with a kitchen, living room and one or more bedrooms, an apartment gives the feeling of having a local base that is difficult to find elsewhere. Also, the decor is often more personalised than in many hotel rooms with can have an institutional feel.
