Have you ever tried a version of DIY holiday accommodation? Renting an apartment (or house) for a holiday can be a very cost-effective way of enjoying a slightly longer holiday.
But the most attractive part of it is it also provides the opportunity to 'live as a local' even if only for one, two, three or more weeks of your holiday. Okay, you don't have to do the daily commute to work each day, but you stay in a 'regular' place, use public transport, shop in local stores, find your favourite corner cafe and be part of the everyday life of the city you choose.
In every city, there's a great array of holiday apartment choices which you can find online through travel sites such as Trip Advisor, AirBNB, Veo Apartments, Worldwide Accommodation, Flip Key and others.
Here's an infographic with tips on how to find the perfect holiday apartment featuring five European cities: London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam and Florence.
Happy planning!
