In Madrid, as in major European cities,
has greatly increased the supply of temporary rental apartments.
This upward
trend is mainly due to three factors. On the one hand, tourists and visitors
have increased the demand of this type of accommodation because for less money
you can get more space, privacy and amenities. The profile of tourists has
changed, and they have become in travelers. They do not want to be mere
spectators, but they want to live and experience life in the city they visit.
And for experience the local way of living, there is nothing better than
staying in an apartment.
The second
factor is determined by the need for owners to achieve a return on their
property. In Spain, due to the crisis , and due to the current Rent Act , many
homeowners decide to rent your apartment for short periods because it offers
more security and less uncertainty.
And the third
factor , we could consider the main one , is because there have been countless
websites where owners can advertise their apartments and where those interested
can reserve online .
With the
increased supply of apartments has increased competition and the result is that
the prices are much lower than a few years ago. This fact is of course
beneficial to the customer. But on the other hand, the offer available on the
Internet is so huge that complicates the search: How to be sure of succeeding
in our choice?
Here you
have a few tips to to succeed in the election of an apartment in Madrid:
1. - Decide what type of apartment you really
need. For example, for two people, a studio apartment can be more than enough
instead of booking a one bedroom apartment, and you will save money.
2 - Decide what equipment must have the
apartment: Internet access, lift, air conditioning, etc.
3. - The area is critical. An apartment in
downtown, or near your workplace, conditionates deeply the way how you
experience the city. Avoid wasting your time using public transport if you prefer
to visit the city center.
4. - Your budget. Think that often is better
increase slightly your budget and choose a comfortable and well located
apartment because you will save money on transportation and on meals away from
home because you have everything at hand.
5. - Look for a "local" website. The
local websites have selected the apartments which they advertised and have
knowledge of the area and can advise you on apartments that would suit your
needs.
