Departamentos New York Sees Short-Term Vacation Apartment Rental Business Booming

Departamentos New York reports Latin American travelers preferring booking apartments instead of hotels for their New York vacation or business trip.

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 20, 2007 -- Latin American tourists and business travelers are rapidly increasing their online research abilities allowing them to identify and book accommodation alternatives to high priced hotels through local travel agencies (without hidden fees or difficult to calculate extras like taxes and local phone usage).

According to Departamentos New York (http://www.departamentosnewyork.com), which is quickly becoming a leading player in the furnished short-term apartment rental business in New York City and Miami (http://www.departamentosmiami.net), apartments surpass hotels in comfort, lifestyle and are more affordable especially when traveling with a family group.

Apartments are better located than many hotels, are better equipped, and represent good value for the money. They are less 'touristy' and I recommend them to all my colleagues...When you stay in NY for 2 weeks at a time for work, I much prefer to stay in an apartment where I can cook, receive friends and lead a more informal, normal life.

"My husband and I, with our 3 children, stayed at a wonderful 2 bedroom apartment on West 73rd Street," explains Maria Elena Torres. "We enjoyed a more authentic, 'living like the locals', New York City experience for half the price of a hotel. We feel more at home when we are away from home."

Departamentos New York services clients from Spain, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, UK, US, Uruguay, Mexico and Colombia who, instead of going to a local travel agency, have understood that an online do-it-yourself search allows them to choose exactly what they need, faster and more accurately than discussing lodging options with a traditional agency.

Karina Meth, Departamentos New York Managing Director explains, "Our new website allows our clients (including travel agencies) to have better access to our accommodation options. While apartment prices vary, our customers save 25 to 50 percent off the price of hotel rooms. The key to our success is service, service, service. We help our clients find the perfect apartment for their trip, in their own language, within their budget, with great care and patience."

As opposed to online classifieds websites such as Craig's List, Departamentos Nueva York only offers apartments that are NOT owned by individuals who rent them when they are not there. Rather they are exclusively available for short term rentals, professionally managed and set-up for this purpose (some apartments even have cleaning/maid services).

Laura Martinez, a business traveler from Madrid, Spain talks about her experience, "Apartments are better located than many hotels, are better equipped, and represent good value for the money. They are less 'touristy' and I recommend them to all my colleagues...When you stay in NY for 2 weeks at a time for work, I much prefer to stay in an apartment where I can cook, receive friends and lead a more informal, normal life."
