Short-Term Rentals are Becoming More Popular
According to Rick Steves host of a popular travel show on public television, tourists need to consider short-term rentals, “because of the high cost of hotels and the sinking economy, short-term apartment rentals are becoming more popular. Travelers can stay in spacious accommodations with a kitchen for the price of a moderate hotel room. I used an apartment as my base several times last year. It gave me a good excuse to shop in the local markets, enjoy the economy of eating in, and bask in the feeling of being a “temporary local.”
