Holiday in an apartment rather than a hotel
Nowadays arranging your holiday independently of travel agents
is a breeze, and more people are doing it every day. Chances are
though, you're still doing the 'find a flight' then 'find a
hotel' route. Instead, next time why not consider an apartment
instead of a hotel? It's usually no more expensive than a hotel,
especially for families, and can provide a much more comfortable
base for your holiday.
You're free to come and go as you please, and save time and
money for the quick meals or breakfasts rather than having to
stop at an expensive café every day. You'll have a living room
to rest in during sightseeing trips, and no rush to get up in
the mornings to avoid the cleaning staff.
Here's an example of what you might expect. We have an
apartment on rue St Antoine in the 4th arrondissement of Paris.
Since the owner often uses it himself, he has beautifully
decorated it and equipped it with all the modern conveniences
such as dishwasher, satellite television, broadband internet
etc. The apartment is on the fourth floor with a beautiful
view,
and has a living room and dining room as well a single bedroom.
With the fold out sofa-bed, the apartment can sleep up to 4
people, and is only 135 euros a night. Could you find a hotel
suite that would be equivalent to this at that price?
Most of the people who stay in our apartments are overjoyed at
the ease and comfort. Since working in this business I've also
changed the way in which I approach booking holidays. Taking a
hotel room now reminds me too much of business trips and stark
tiny rooms with overpriced continental breakfasts. Being in an
apartment means you live like a local, popping to the local
boulangerie for croissants, a quick powernap in the afternoon,
and then finally stumbling home in the early hours after a night
on the tiles in Paris. Be truly independent on your holiday, and
book an apartment instead of a hotel!
