The holiday season is starting and everyone will leave the country for holidays. Whether it is sun, culture, silence, shopping, beach or something else you desire, you will always need a place to stay. For the last decades there were just three types of vacation accommodation available: hotels, resorts and campings. The tourism industry is a very competitive and volatile business: there is a constant shift in demand. "At the moment there is a high demand for vacation rentals, apartments are the new trend. They offer more comfort and freedom compared to a hotel for a better price. Its like camping in comfort."
Speaking is Adam Smith, Sales Executive of Dailyflats.com in Barcelona. "The vacation rental industry is booming in Barcelona. The number of companies that offer apartments in Barcelona are numerous. Sum this number with the number of hostels and hotels and it is clear that you have to do your homework to distinguish yourself from the competition. We are meeting Adam in one of the brand new Dailyflats apartments located just one minute away from Las Ramblas. "This is one of the brand new Modern Ramblas apartments and they are an excellent example of the Dailyflats quality. This apartment combines the old ceilings and walls with modern furniture. This is how we distinguish ourselves from hotels and hostels: they are comfortable and they do not feel empty like almost all of the hotel rooms." A kind of a home away from home feeling? "Well, that saying is a bit clich, but it describes what we are aiming for. In combination with these high quality apartments we offer very competitive prices."
Adam asked us to make a guess about the price per night of the apartment were in. €400 per night? "Not even close, the total costs per night are €250 for nine persons, that is just €28 per person per night. This is the perfect example of a Dailyflats apartment: a good price and high quality apartment."
Is it true that there is a certain stigma about apartment owners? "That is true, people are a bit suspicious because they have heard some stories from the past. Local Spanish landlords that did not keep their promises, communication was difficult and the apartments were of a poor quality. That is no longer the case and we are working hard to prove the customers that we are different. The customer is very important to us, we do everything that is in our league to ensure a pleasant stay in Barcelona. "And how do you tackle the communication problem because Spanish people are well known for their limited knowledge of other languages?" Well, I think we tackled that problem by employing people from all over Europe. We have people that speak: English, German, Dutch, French, Russian, Portuguese, Italian and of course Spanish. We try to help everyone in a language they can speak and understand. If we take a look to our recent growth and number of guests we can see that we are on the right track."
