Airbnb’s are viewed more as vacation rentals and are not viewed as an opportunity for corporate housing, production housing, or even international housing. The International housing opportunity can present itself for corporate, production, and vacation housing but is not always viewed as a necessity. Travelers coming from overseas want to find properties that are able to communicate with them, keep odd hours, and are not only focused on local tourism.
Clear Communication
Traveling internationally is bound to have language barriers. You want to find a short-term housing company that is equipped with handling different language situations. Look for a company that has staff members who speak other languages and can communicate with international guests. Having a communication barrier can make it difficult to equip the rental property with the proper materials. Breaking down that barrier will ensure problems getting resolved immediately.
Respect Culture
Typically when staff is fluent in other languages means that they are all versed in international cultures. International businesses usually keep different schedules and it requires companies to keep odd hours. You want to find a company that can adjust to the different time zone and makes booking a property more convenient, instead of waiting for a response during their normal business hours.
Trustworthiness
When traveling internationally, you are out of your element. You are in a new area and don’t want to have to be worried about if the rental property is going to be up to standards. Look for companies with good reviews and images of the property. You want to make sure your property will be as they are pictured. It is important to find a property that won’t take advantage of you with hidden fees or surprise repairs.
Caring
The most important thing about a short-term rental company is they are making the best living situation for you and don’t only care about your money. Find a company that has shown they care about their tenants and want to make your stay as easy as possible. Find a rental that has great reviews for their friendly staff.
