If you are considering a new facility with which you will work, it is very important to choose the right apartment, which with minimal costs and time will begin to bring you revenue.
We will share with you the secrets of choosing such an apartment in this article.
The main points on which you need to pay attention first:
1. Location
Based on the most popular requests on Dobovo, guests are most often looking for accommodation in the city center, near railway stations, exhibition, or business centers.
When choosing an apartment for short-term rent, it is necessary, first of all, to pay attention to the accommodation, which is located close to the main tourist attractions and transport interchanges.
2. Building and environment
Coming to a new city for a short period of time, it is difficult to quickly navigate the terrain and find supermarkets, pharmacies and banks. A big advantage for the new facility will be immediate proximity to shops, restaurants and public transport stops.
It is also very important that the building, in which the apartment is located, will be in decent condition, the entrance is clean and tidy, the elevator works and so on. The impression of even the best apartment can be completely ruined by the unpleasant smell in the entrance, or the need to climb the stairs.
It is also quite often important for the guests that the entrance will be from the street, as Anna, the owner-Expert on Dobovo, says in her interview.
3. The number of rooms and sleeping places
The most popular apartments by the number of guests are small apartments for two guests.
So, almost, half of the orders on Dobovo are booking for two people.
If you want that your apartment to fit the prevailing majority of requests, an apartment with three to four beds will be the most versatile option.
Apartments with three beds will suit 84% of guests, and with four will satisfy 95% of requests.
Of course, there are exceptions and some owners successfully work with large apartaments for 4-5 rooms, but the main flow of tourists comes on pairs and small groups.
If you are looking for a universal option that will suit the vast majority of guests, feel free to choose a studio or one-bed apartment – you will spend much less time for preparing for accommodation, less expenses for utilities, which will maximize profits.
The most universal option for sleeping places will be 2 + 2 + 1: two double beds + one extra, for example, a small sofa bed. So, it will be possible to accommodate three guests in separate sleeping places, because guests are quite often asked about this.
4. Household appliances and plumbing
Of course, the availability of a set of equipment in the apartment is very important, becaise it will possible to start work quicklier and with a lower cost, but do not try to present the whole range of equipment from the blender to the humidifiers in the apartment.
It is not necessarily to have a large stove with an oven, a computer desk, or a bookcase in the apartment for a daily rent. When choosing an apartment, try to calculate how long it will take cleaning, if the guests take advantage of all the appliances in the apartment. If there is only an hour between the check in and check out, washing the large hob will take too long. And, of course, keeping clean a new plumbing is much easier – even minor scrapes, or scratches on the surface of the bath will significantly hamper cleaning. Reduce the amount of equipment to the required minimum and you can not only save time during cleaning, but also significantly reduce the cost of utilities.
Not mandatory, but important attributes, the presence of which will be a big advantage:
1. Air conditioning
2. Microwave oven
3. Boiler
4. Additional heating devices
For short trips, a washing machine is not always necessary for guests, but for bookings from four days, it will be very important for guests to have it.
5. The owner of the apartment and neighbors
One of the most important points without which the work will be practically impossible.
Try to communicate well with the owner of the apartment before signing the contract, to discuss as much as possible all the details and all possible situations. From this your further cooperation will largely depend. Also, as soon as possible to get to know neighbors. Reduce the discontent of neighbors from the fact that next to them the apartment will be rented for a day, you can replace the light bulbs in the entrance, or do minimal superficial repairs. These small costs will help you avoid many complaints in the future. When you get to know with neighbors, also, it is worth to give them your contacts and asking to contact you directly. So, if there is a noisy party in the apartment, you will know about this more quickly and independently resolve this issue without calling to the police, or calling the immediate to owner of the apartment.
