Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

(Αν θέλεις να σε επαινούν, μάθε πρώτα να λες καλά λόγια, και αφού μάθεις να λες καλά λόγια, να κάνεις καλές πράξεις, και τότε θα ακούς καλά λόγια για εσένα).

Today’s luxury travel implies comfort and convenience


AvenueStory’s second appearance at World Travel Market confirms that demand for short stay apartments in central city locations is growing and at a steady rate.
The success of AvenueStory has been driven both by adapting to growing consumer needs but also by revolutionising the experience of short term stays. Starting with match making your desired criteria one by one with their portfolio making sure that you choose the right apartment for your trip, be it a holiday, an anniversary, a romantic city break or even a business trip. Finishing with your appointed concierge meticulously planning your arrival and your stay, not just handing over the keys.
Minimum stay is 3 nights and on average rates for apartments sleeping 4 or upwards are priced from €99.00 per person per night inclusive of all fees and taxes as well as guest benefits inclusive of local mobile phone, free wifi or international calls and you can check in early or check out late for free.
With online sites such as Airbnb.com, this method of travel is becoming more natural for the modern traveller, and much of the success behind AvenueStory is its ability to provide something more personal, indulgent and convenient than what customers can find in the market place currently. Most recently AvenueStory’s larger 3,500 square foot apartments have been occupied during Paris Fashion Week for showcasing fashion collections. Some units are also available to rent for weddings and private functions.
Irina Raileanu CEO and Founder of AvenueStory commented on the growing success:
“We’ve seen that there is a sharp increase in vacation rental awareness, and demand, 34% almost double than in previous years. And with recent news such as Expedia launching it’s partnership with HomeAway to distribute vacation rentals we can see that the industry is readily accepting this form of accommodation in an official capacity. “
A growing concern for vacation rental guests is strict cancellation policies in comparison with standard hotel reservations. AvenueStory has recently introduced a partnership with RentalGuardian offering its guests Travel Insurance options specific for vacation rentals and Rental Damage Protection offering peace of mind not only in terms of travelling but also, cancellation and deposit guarantees.
