Total Price means *total price* if a Client requests for 6 months, insert the total monthly price for 6 months i.e. 800 € x 6 months = 4800 €, NOT THE 1 MONTH PRICE 800 €.

Expiration, now we have solved the problems with expired offers but still give Clients time to decide extending the availability at least for 2 or 3 weeks for long term rental as Clients search literally for MONTHS before confirming something, you are still able to withdrawn the offer if you get a booking somewhere else.

Edit Terms & Conditions and Extra costs carefully, it’s extremely important too.

First of all consider that Firenze Lodging lists many properties to offer our Clients the most comprehensive choice of rentals in Florence. If you have done a good job with listing a property complete with a detailed description, a nice photo gallery, videos and a floor plan, your prices are competitive it’s unlikely you will get no bookings. Clients book the following properties:

• Properties with accurate data, bedrooms, floor, address etc.
• Accurate description of the property with ups & downs, better say it’s ground floor noisy you will find a happy client that does not care about noise rather that ten killer reviews about how bad your property was.
• Photo gallery is the key for your success in renting your property, hire a good photographer and describe your property with pictures.
• Keep an availability calendar, even though our service is based on offer it’s always good to provide some basic availability info, clients will not send requests knowing it’s not available. You both save time.
