If the apartment is available and you showed your interest in renting it, we will send you booking instructions and put the apartment on a hold in your name for the period ranging from a few hours to up to 24 hours. The more advance your booking is, the longer on-hold period is possible. The on-hold period should give you enough time to book the apartment by making a booking deposit.

1) PayPal (http://www.paypal.com). One of the most reliable and secure payment processing companies with over 40 million users worldwide. Payment is made in minutes by using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx) or a PayPal account.
