| One alternative that is often overlooked is the possibility of renting a flat instead of staying at a hotel. The difference is that a hotel room usually will have a refrigerator that is mainly stocked with overpriced drinks and has no facilities for preparing food and frequently no facilities for cleaning clothes. Up-to-date hotels have a "bar refrigerator" which is equipped with sensors and is entirely stocked with things that you have to pay for, if any of them is moved. A rented flat will have a refrigerator which is fully empty for you to stock food. It will have a minimally supplied kitchen where you can prepare food. Some flats are equipped with a washing machine and a dryer, but it's quite common to have communal facilities for washing clothes. Anyway, there will be some option for doing the washing that doesn't cost much. Another considerable difference between flats and hotels is the layout that is determined to a great extent by the size. A rented flat may have separate rooms divided by walls. Thus, some flats may have two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a lounge separated from the rest of the apartment. This makes it possible to have a business meeting in the dining area while somebody is sleeping in one of the bedrooms. There is a significant difference between inviting a business partner to the lounge of a rented flat and inviting them to a hotel room. Flats often are usually a lot more expensive than hotel rooms, since they need more space for the kitchen. Still, by cooking in the kitchen of a flat you can save a great deal on restaurants. Another way to save some money is to use some inflatable camping beds for four people to sleep in a flat that is designed for two. Yet, landowners try and discourage this by solely having enough cutlery for two people and not having extra blankets, towels, etc. Quite the opposite, hotel rooms often provide spare towels and blankets, as it is easier to fully stock every closet than to handle requests from customers at odd times of the night.
