Tips for Booking a Vacation Rental Apartment in Rome

If you are looking to stay in a vacation rental apartment in Rome, there are some great options and in some very cultural and scenic locations including Piazza Navona and the Vatican area. Below we look at some ideas to help you book the right apartment to suit all your requirements.

The first step to booking a rental apartment in Rome is establishing exactly what facilities are a must have in your holiday rental and what rent range your budget can handle. Do not forget to factor in transportation costs as well into this estimate as this will help you calculate the value of the vacation rental. Choosing a rental near to a train station or bus station can mean cost savings for can fares to location away from central transport hubs.

Rome has low budget vacation rentals and luxury apartments for rent as well, offering guests a choice of accommodation options based on their budget. Be sure to decide what price range you are interested in and feed this information clearly back to the holiday apartments agency if you are using one. This will help you to hone in on the best option.

Before booking a vacation rental, it is essential that you go through the reviews, photographs of the apartment and contact the people concerned about the rental’s facilities and current state. If you are making an online booking then you will need to ensure that all the information given to you is up to date. You will also need to make a few enquiries about your rental choice to ascertain whether the rental is capable of meeting all your requirements.

Many of Rome’s apartment rentals have several photographs and even video tours of the facilities allowing guests to get a definite idea of that they will be renting. Also consider carefully if you need facilities such as Wi-Fi or Internet or an apartment with stairs because you are elderly. Not all apartments have air conditioning thus this is also something you should carefully consider. Consider also if you are booking to stay in a noisy or quiet area and if there is a restaurant, maybe a bar and a convenience store nearby? Maybe you want isolation, in which case the outskirts of the city will be better.

Before finalising your booking, ensure that all the paperwork is on order and that the people that you are dealing with are the owners of the property. Try and have a telephone which you can call if your airline is delayed or if another problem occurs.
