28 Feb 08 Short term apartment rentals in Barcelona are a perfect solution for visitors to the cityIf you have a party of six and are ready to experience the laid-back Spanish lifestyle and its hectic nightlife then a short-term apartment rental in Barcelona not only makes sense in terms of location but it also delivers perfect value for money. When you are on holiday cost is a factor. Hotel accommodation in European city centres is geared towards business travellers or those for whom city-hopping is part of their lifestyle and therefore are used to the cost. Holiday travellers however, if they can, want to avoid having to pay for the cost of their holiday for the rest of the year. As a result a short-term apartment rental provides the perfect solution. Here’s how it works. You want, say, a base in the heart of Barcelona. The apartment needs to be modern, air-conditioned (a must for the hot summer months) and within easy reach of all the nightspots. Normally this kind of place would cost you for a week about what you make a month. Because Barcelona apartment rentals come with 3 – 4 bedrooms, you can split the cost amongst a party of six-seven friends. This then makes the cost of your short term apartment rental a lot more manageable and provides you with the necessary cash you have saved for going out and enjoying the town. Barcelona is a fun capital. It has terrific nightlife and provides a number of festivals, holiday days and cultural places for tourists. So whatever your tastes run to you are sure to actually find something as a visitor to the city that appeals to you. Short term apartment rental prices depend on a number of factors. The obvious one is the number of bedrooms which will also affect your holiday budget. Some Barcelona apartments sleep 10 or 11 while others can accommodate just six or seven people, so this is an element that you need to clarify before you go ahead and book an apartment. The other factors are fittings. Barcelona is a very hot city. Air-conditioning in the summer months can make or break the quality of your Spanish holiday so make sure you get an apartment that has some sort of air-conditioning. This, of course, depends on the time you want to visit, which also affects availability and prices. Generally Barcelona apartments are in high demand during summer months and when there is a festival or huge public holiday. That’s when short term rentals get booked fast and prices, inevitably, rise, so you’d best check dates before you decide. Finally check to see location. Barcelona is a well connected city with a very advanced system of public transport which means a car is not necessary. Depending on where you want to go however it is always worth checking the location of your short term rental apartment there, particularly if a big football match is on and hordes of fans arrive in town.
