One might think that renting out an apartment instead of going to a hotel an unnecessary luxury, but it isn’t always so. If you plan right and do your research properly, you should be able to save money. Listed below are some of the perks you will enjoy when you choose an apartment over a hotel.
1. Budget
This might come as a surprise, but a lot of times, apartments are cheaper than hotels, especially if you are planning on staying for more than a weekend. Also, apartments have kitchens, so you can cook your own meals as this is also a big budget saver when you are travelling.
2. Space
Apartments are more spacious than hotel rooms, oftentimes there is even a living room area which is pretty neat if you are travelling with more than one person. Sometimes, apartments have a back yard or a garden and you can truly feel more at home than you would staying in a hotel.
3. Homelike feeling
Speaking of which, apartments do feel like home. Kitchen to cook your meals in, refrigerator to store food and drinks, washing machine, so you can do your laundry. All the amenities you have at home. And sure, you can wash your clothes and eat at a hotel but it does cost extra.
4. Easier planning
‘’Breakfast is served at 7 am.’’ Does this sound familiar? But what if you don’t want to wake up at 6:30 on a holiday and you want to have breakfast? When staying in an apartment, you make your own rules – when you are waking up, when you are eating or whatever is you wish to do on a holiday.
5. Location
Going to the seaside and every hotel is just so far away from the actual beach? Going to a beautiful city, but all the hotels in the city center are just too expensive? Renting out an apartment can be the answer to your problems as there is bound to be one that will fit your needs in terms of location.
