  • Apartments
  • Houses
  • Condos
  • Villas
  • Unique stays like treehouses and yurts

Key Considerations When Choosing a Rental

  • ๐Ÿ“ Location: Ensure it's close to attractions, amenities, or transportation.
  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Price: Compare rates and check for hidden fees (e.g., cleaning, service, deposits).
  • โญ Reviews: Prioritize rentals with positive feedback from previous guests.
  • ๐Ÿ  Amenities: Look for essentials like Wi-Fi, parking, kitchen facilities, or laundry.
  • ๐Ÿ“œ Terms: Read the rental agreement carefully (cancellation, house rules, etc.).

  2. Reach Out to the Host: Clarify any doubts or make special requests.
  3. Secure Payment: Use safe payment methods to protect your information.
