Try a whole new approach to holiday living!

I and my wife Michelle were planning to go on a holiday to the beautiful Spanish city of Barcelona. For me it was a business trip, as I had to meet a few of my clients but for my wife it was purely a leisure trip. So when we got down to calculating the total expenditure of our business cum leisure trip, the biggest component of cost turned out to be hotel bills. So this time we planned to take a clear departure from the past and decided to rent an apartment in Barcelona for a change.

To find the apartment of our choice we decided to do a Google search with the terms ‘apartment Barcelona' and the search engine result page threw up thousands of relevant results out of which we selected the ones that we found appropriate according to our budget and preference.

The home page of the web portal offering apartments on rent in Barcelona had a query form that prompted us to enter the dates of our stay and when we clicked on the search button, quite a few interesting options were displayed in front of us. What was common to almost all the offerings that were on display was the abundance of amenities each apartment had to offer. The higher we went on the price ladder, the more the amenities stacked up.

The most interesting part was the fact that all the apartments on rent in Barcelonawere in the heart of the city and not the suburbs. This meant that all the entertainment and business facilities were close to the place where we would be staying.

Moreover, we would get all the privacy and solitude we desired as a newly wedded couple and wouldn't have to bother about inviting friends to come over, something we would have clearly avoided had we opted for a hotel room.

The apartment that we took on rent in Barcelona had a refrigerator, television, air-conditioner, ceiling fan, music system, fully-equipped kitchen, bath tub with Jacuzzi and a washroom with a bidet.

We even had a valet to take care of all our needs and such a dedicated approach to service delivery clearly impressed us. We could order food, get the room cleaning done as per our convenience and even avail evening service whenever we wanted. We couldn't have asked for more given the limited budget we had and would surely recommend anyone visiting Barcelona to hire an apartment instead of wasting their hard-earned money in expensive hotels.

It will be worth it….and that's a guarantee!
