Short term renting offers flexibility
Filed Under Renting news by admin | Leave a Comment
There is a growing market for individuals and families wanting to ditch the traditional package holidays and hotels for renting short term holiday property both in the UK and abroad.
In particular, families prefer the space a holiday property provides instead of cramping the whole family into a hotel room or two. There may be space for a garden, or they could even bring the dog for long country walks. It also provides the home comfort that a hotel might not be able to offer while still giving the short term tenant the luxuries of getting away.
Colette Murphy of letting agency Braemore Property Management said, “Many people prefer the comfort and privacy a short let property provides, particularly as it usually means you get better value for money when staying in a rented apartment than the hotel equivalent. Our properties are right in the heart of the New Town, among some of Edinburgh’s finest streets. It means visitors can really feel part of the city and discover, even if it’s only for a weekend, what living in Edinburgh is all about. Many of our visitors also travel to other European cities for mini-breaks and they tell us that they use the internet to source good quality holiday apartments. The reaction from them is that once they’ve tried this type of accommodation, they generally won’t be going back to hotels”.
Renting a flat on a short term basis can also offer a longer term holiday without the expense – anything from 1 week to a month or longer depending on the terms of the letting agent or landlord.
Citylets offers short term property to rent, in particular we usually experience an influx of properties over the Edinburgh Festival period.
