Decide how much you are comfortable spending per night or per week. Remember to ask whether the price includes:
- Electricity
- Water
- Wi-Fi
- Cleaning
- Parking

- Check the facilities
Before booking, confirm that the apartment has everything you need, such as
- Reliable Wi-Fi
- Kitchen facilities
- Hot water
- Comfortable bed
- Good security
- Parking
- Backup electricity
- Air conditioning or fans
- Verify the apartment before paying
Ask for recent photos or a video tour. If possible, visit the property before making a payment. Confirm the exact location and make sure the person receiving your money is authorized to rent the property.
- Confirm the booking terms
Get the important details in writing, including the price, check-in and check-out times, cancellation policy, and what is included in the rental.
- Consider the length of your stay
For stays of several days or weeks, ask whether the host offers a discounted weekly or monthly rate. This can sometimes be more economical than paying the standard nightly price.
