29 May A holiday rental in coronavirus times: the safest option for sleeping away from home

Imagine a holiday in Barcelona with all the advantages of a hotel but the safety and hygiene of a private home. Holiday rental and coronavirus take on new meaning in a time when we’re trying to protect our health in all the spaces we inhabit, even temporarily. With the spread of the SARS CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, washing your hands, respecting social distances, and rigorously cleaning all surfaces you touch is part of a responsible attitude towards curbing contagion.

Faced with this situation, our holiday rental company has redoubled its efforts to make guests feel that they’re in a place where their health is never at risk. Staying in a Lodging Management tourism apartment means your space is exclusive to you, with no non-essential contact with those not in your group. Complete cleaning and disinfection of the apartment is guaranteed, to the highest standards required by the health authorities. In addition, the apartment is left empty for 24 hours before your arrival in order to ensure no external contamination after the sanitisation process.

Household goods and appliances are reserved solely for the personal use of guests, and additional services are also offered, including housekeeping, laundry or shopping, with the assurance that our staff comply with health and safety instructions and dress in professional protective equipment. A tourism rental apartment is the best way to enjoy a vacation in Barcelona under the new rules and measures that have been adopted because of the pandemic.

No social distancing required

Your holiday apartment is shared only with your holiday companions. There are no common spaces in which you are forced to interact with people outside your group, like bathrooms, kitchens, breakfast rooms, corridors or swimming pools. A holiday apartment is exclusive to you while away from your home, and therefore the place that best protects you. Maintaining social distance is something you don’t have to worry about because you are only in physical contact with the other people in your apartment. In addition, furniture and household items are disinfected before your arrival, and are for your exclusive use.

Complete disinfection

Complete disinfection of our Barcelona tourist apartments has always been a priority for Lodging Management, and to achieve this, we use hypochlorite and other specific specialised cleaning products for different areas of the flat. During the coronavirus crisis, we have also added ozone to our list of disinfectants to ensure even better hygiene practises. An excellent biocide, ozone is a gas whose oxidizing power allows for the complete elimination of all types of microorganisms present in water and air, including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Thus, when you arrive at one of our holiday-rental apartments, you will find everything perfectly disinfected and ready for use. Any surface can be touched without fear of contagion.

Apartment isolation period

Once the house has been disinfected, it enters a 24-hour quarantine period in which no one can enter. The tourism rental apartment remains empty during this time to reinforce health and safety procedures and prevent risk of recontamination inside the house. You can be rest assured that you will arrive at an apartment that has been disinfected completely and left in perfect sanitary conditions.

Hotel services in a private home

If you want to stay at your holiday apartment without immersing yourself in the street crowds, our additional services can provide everything you need. At Lodging Management, we can do your shopping at the supermarket and even bring you breakfast. You can also contract additional housekeeping and laundry services and leave these tasks to the professionals. Our staff have all the necessary safety equipment to fulfil your requests competently and effectively, as required by our current circumstances.

As you can see, our holiday rental and tourist apartment management company offers all the advantages of staying at a hotel, but with the added degree of safety so crucial in these times. Ours are safe apartments that comply with current regulations and have effective mechanisms in place to ensure the safety and health of our guests. Lodging Management‘s historical commitment to the professionalization of the sector has only been strengthened this year, as we have ensured protective measures for all our workers. Both the housekeeping and maintenance staff of our tourist apartments and our front-desk employees have the necessary equipment and means to carry out their work without putting their health or that of our guests at risk. Today, more than ever, we are capable of successfully seeing our visitors through any circumstance and providing effective solutions to the needs of holiday rental guests in Barcelona.
