Questions to ask property owners

.

Most of the properties you’ll find online are geared towards daily or weekly rentals. Your lifestyle will be a little different than someone who is on vacation, so it’s a good idea to dig a little deeper.

The house

  • Is the kitchen adequate for a 2-3 month stay?
  • Is there a parking space available?
  • Which utilities are included? How much will the utilities be during the months you will be there?
  • How reliable is the internet connection?

The neighborhood

  • Is there a bakery or market within walking distance?
  • Is there a bus that runs nearby?
  • Ask for the address, so that you can Google Earth the immediate neighborhood.

Finally, read all the reviews and be wary of any place that doesn’t have any posted.
