    According to our experiences it is most likely to categorize the property in a studio apartment, apartment or holiday home.

    +

    If your property meets the highest star rating prescribed by the classification regulations, then you should definitely opt for the highest possible stars. Which ultimately makes your apartment more competitive on the market. But the good sale price of the apartment can be achieved even with less stars if it is nicely decorated and designed. A large number of beds provide the possibility for guests to share the cost of overnight stays, which significantly reduces their costs, which ultimately makes your apartment competitive in the market.
