Odessa Apartments
You should definately consider to rent an apartment when you travel to Odessa. This is a great alternative to a hotel. You can get great value for money by choosing this way of accomodation. There are plenty of apartments in Odessa to rent and there are many apartment agencies. You can find apartments in all sizes and levels of luxury. Prices vary from 60 to 200 dollars a night. Many apartments in the luxury segment ($120 -200) come with a jaccuzi.
Something that is quite funny is the design and interior of some of the Odessa apartments. It sometimes looks like they have overtried to make the apartment look modern and trendy by throwing in some odd "design furniture" and crazy deco. You will also find more cozy apartments if this is what you want.
If you travel together with friends it can be fun to live in an apartment with several bedrooms, livingroom and a kitchen. It gets more social this way. If you travel to Odessa in order to date someone, an apartment will give you more privacy than a hotel room would give you.
The apartment agencies can in most cases be helpful with airport pickup service, translation service and different sightseeing packages in the same way that hotels offer these services.
Most agencies prefer bookings of five or more nights in an apartment. If your stay is shorter than five nights you probably must pay a minor fee ( the price per night will be a little bit higher). If you're stay is only for a few nights they will probably not confirm your apartment untill a week or two in advance. This is because they want to rent them out for longer periods.
When
you book online, you will get an email reply which states if your
apartment of choice is available or not. If not they will offer you
some alternatives that you can decide on. They will also provide you
with payment instructions
if you decide to go on with the booking. Usually you have to pay for
the first night in advance (not refundable) with a creditcard. You then
have to pay the rest in cash ($) on arrival. Usually they will demand a
100$ deposit which you get back when checking out.
Odessa apartmens are a convenient and practical way of accomodation for travellers to Odessa Ukraine.
