There are several ways of how to rent apartments in Kiev. Whether you came like a tourist or a business representative – be sure, you will find cozy apartments for daily rent that are much better than hotel rooms. Almost all Kiev is for rent, as this is a capital, and lots of people feel need in temporary place of living. Demand dictates supply, so there are a lot of private rent agencies or people even lease their own flats. How to make a right choice in the whole variety of offerings?
At first it is necessary to define the price you can afford to yourself. For rent apartment Kiev offers various packages – from budget one room flats with general entry to several apartments to separate house with beautiful courtyard and pool. The price range is from $60 to $1000, just to assign the borders. The price much depends on the level of comfort, but the main thing that defines the price is location. Apartments in popular central districts of the city will cost much more than on the suburbs. Central part apartments are oriented for businessmen, and sometimes they are overpriced for nothing. So if the location is not important for your needs, it will be better to rent apartments in some dormitory area. The underground railway is a good way to get where you need from any part of Kiev, so there should be no problems with transport except time.
When you come to Kiev, you can first use the offerings on various station houses. Lots of people are trying to lease their apartments to comers, and not to make them enticed by agencies, they are standing near main transport stations. These professionals know what you are looking for, regardless of what language do you speak. When using such way of finding apartments, you should be careful not to be deceived. As you have no guarantees that the person you are going to deal with is safe and honest. Don’t give any money till you come to see the apartments and make the decision to stay there. Don’t believe what you hear, only check by yourself. Everyone tries to get the biggest profit possible, and all the methods are going to be used. Do not agree for the first offer you saw, look through the others – just to find out more about prices and conditions. Be careful with documents, if you make a full prepayment, ask for appropriate document approval that you will really get the service you’ve paid for.
The difficulties in such a way of renting can be caused by language barrier that leads to misunderstanding between you and the apartment’s provider. If you don’t know Russian or Ukrainian, it will be difficult to understand what he says. Most foreign visitors don’t rent apartments from providers on transport stations, so there are very few people speaking English there. So it is better to you to book apartments beforehand. You will feel safe and avoid possible problems while trying to find something on site.
There is a variety of agencies offering daily rent apartments in Kiev. They usually working by pre order, so you should book the apartments you like beforehand. Working with agencies gives you more guarantees than dealing with privates. Agencies undertake to provide you with all necessary documents, working in full accordance with official law. So if something goes wrong or you are given with worse apartments than you ordered – you can require your money back or fixing any such problem.
Lots of rental agencies has websites in the Internet, as their business is oriented to the foreign customers and need to have connection with them. You can surf in the web to find suitable agency with good apartments offered. Usually they have a detailed description of each apartments with photos, prices and info. But what should you pay attention at first is the proof of their reliability.
Usually an agency that has nothing to hide puts detailed contact information on the website, so you can call or email them any time you wish. If you are booking the apartments in Kiev for the first time with no recommendations from those who you trust, we advise you to call to the office of agency to make sure that such one really exists. Also popular and successful agencies usually post testimonials from their clients with their contacts.
The internet is the only connection between you and Kiev rental agencies, the only source of information. Of course Slavic people like to exaggerate a little, so don’t believe all you see on their websites. Try to check everything you can. It will really take a few minutes to call or to send the e mail. A good agency will definitely reply you and provide with relevant information about the current apartments available. This is the first step where you can feel their quality of service. If you are satisfied with it, then move on. The only way to make deal with a good agency is the recommendations of someone who has used it already and stayed pleased with it. Try to find out if there are suitable ones.
Another advice is to book apartments in Kiev via mediator like touristic agency. Most such bureaus offer hotel lodging, but if living in private apartments is your special requirement, their managers will take care about this. When you are going for business from some company, you don’t need to take care about organizing the trip or booking the apartments. It is very convenient. But if you are travelling alone without any business need, try to organize the trip via some touristic agency, this will be much safer to you.
