| One option that often remains unnoticed is the possibility of staying in a flat instead of a hotel room. The difference is that a hotel room usually will have a refrigerator that is generally stocked with high-priced drinks and provides no facilities for preparing food and often no facilities for washing clothes. Modern hotel rooms have a "bar fridge" which is equipped with sensors and is fully filled with things that you have to pay for, if any of them is moved.
A flat will have a refrigerator that is fully empty for you to stock food. It will have a minimally supplied kitchen where you can cook a meal. Some flats for rent have a washing machine and a dryer, but it is common to have communal facilities for washing clothes. In any case, there will be some option for washing clothes that does not cost much.
Another considerable difference between flats for rent and hotel rooms is the layout that is mostly determined by the size. A flat may have separate rooms divided by walls. Some flats for rent may have two bedrooms, a kitchen area, and a dining area separated from the rest of the apartment. This enables a tenant to arrange a business meeting in the lounge area while someone is having a rest in one of the bedrooms. There is a considerable difference between inviting a business associate to the lounge area of a flat and inviting them to a hotel room.
Flats for rent frequently are commonly much more expensive than hotel rooms, since they are much more spacious because of the kitchen area. However, by preparing food in the kitchen of a flat you can save a good deal of money on restaurants and mini-bar drinks. One more way to save some money is to use some inflatable camping beds for four people to sleep in a flat that is designed for two. Yet, landlords try and discourage this by providing cutlery for two people and not having extra blankets, towels, etc. Quite the opposite, hotel rooms frequently provide spare towels and blankets, as it is easier to just fill every closet with them than to handle requests from customers at night.
