First the keys, then the money. 7 reasons to rent an apartment for a day on Avito Real Estate

1. The booking request is sent automatically

Previously, in order to rent a daily apartment, you had to call the author of the ad or write to him. This is not always convenient. If a tourist lives in Moscow and decided to choose accommodation in Vladivostok during the day, the landlord will definitely not answer immediately because he is sleeping. Now you can solve the issue with a couple of clicks by sending an automatic booking request. It is enough just to specify the necessary dates, characteristics of the apartment and choose the appropriate option.

After that, you will have to wait for confirmation from the landlord. It will arrive within a maximum of 12 hours, but probably sooner. The service has set such a response time in case of a time zone difference.

There is an "Instant Booking" option on the site. If the author of the ad has chosen it, you will not have to wait for confirmation — the apartment will be assigned to you for the selected dates after prepayment for the reservation.

There is no need to pay for an application for "Avito Real Estate": the money is debited only after the reservation is approved. At this stage, only an advance payment is required from the tenant — 30% of the total rental price.

2. You can pay for your stay online

You no longer need to take risks by sending money to a card without clear guarantees. The landlord will receive an advance payment only one day after check-in, until that time the funds are stored at Avito Real Estate. If for some reason you cannot get into the apartment or the author of the ad suddenly disappears, the money will be returned and will help with the selection of other housing.

And you can also not be afraid of sudden price increases or additional services that arise out of nowhere during eviction. To find out the final amount, it is worth discussing the deposit and other nuances with the landlord in advance in the booking chat. The cost of accommodation remains the same.

3. The real apartments correspond to the description on the website

The catalog contains only ads with the badges "Accommodation checked" and "Secure reservation". To earn such money, homeowners must provide continuous video recording with confirmation of the address, condition and equipment of the apartment. Avito specialists will compare it with the photos and description from the ad. If there are any questions, the landlord will be told what exactly caused suspicion, and will be offered to reshoot the video and send it for verification.

The control does not end there. "Avito Real Estate" also carefully examines housing for complaints and landlord's documents for authenticity. The risk of getting a pig in a poke is negligible.

4. There are reviews in the apartment cards

Possible flaws like an uncomfortable mattress or a broken hair dryer cannot be seen in the photos. But the previous guests will probably write about it. You can quickly find out what others think about housing, and decide whether it suits you or not, now in the apartment card. You will not have to go to the page of the author of the ad and read all the reviews about him in general.

Also "Avito Real Estate" added a rating of apartments — the arithmetic mean of the estimates. By the way, it is also visible in the general list of ads. Housing with an insufficiently good assessment, in your opinion, will not even be possible to open and save time searching.

5. You will be able to cancel your reservation for free

Within 6 hours after payment — this is guaranteed by the site. There is only one exception to the rule: if you rented a house day in and day out. However, the landlord can also set a longer period for maneuver: three, five, seven days or even two weeks before arrival. The free cancellation period is visible in the card after selecting the dates: look for it right under the "Book" button.

If your travel plans change dramatically right before check-in, you can also cancel your reservation. But the prepayment will not be refunded — it will be sent to the owner of the apartment as compensation.

6. If something goes wrong, you will not stay outside

«Avito Real Estate has allocated a separate voice support line for the service. It works 24/7, and the phone can be found in the booking chat. No matter what time zone you find yourself in and at what time you will check in, a solution will be found promptly.

You can contact technical support in case of any force majeure, for example, if the owner for some reason could not check you in or does not get in touch. The site will not just refund the money, but will help you quickly find alternative accommodation options with the same conditions and cost. Experts will make sure that you will not be left homeless in a strange city.

7. The service has a wide geography

«Avito Real Estate" works not only in the central part and in the resorts of the south. You can book an apartment in Siberia, the Urals, the Far East and other parts of the country. And there is a lot of choice: there are more than 178 thousand ads on the site with options from owners and management companies.

Filters will allow you to search for accommodation for a vacation or business trip faster. You can specify the number of rooms and guests, select the option of settling in with a pet and mark the necessary amenities, such as the presence of a dishwasher and a water heater. And to choose the ideal location, use the map on "Avito". Use the "Draw area" tool to circle the desired area — the service will show all the apartments located on this territory.
