We talked to Diana and found out how she creates design projects for her properties, why she stopped meeting guests in person, and how good reviews are related to cleanliness.

First steps in daily rent, decent price tag and an object in the center of Sochi

It so happened that at that time we were renovating our own apartment. In the process, I realized that I like doing interiors and decor. Gradually, the puzzles began to come together, because I live in Sochi, one of the most touristic thailand telegram data  cities in Russia, where renting is common. Around 2015, I decided that I needed an apartment to rent out, and began saving money. Two years later, I launched my first project – apartments on Kazachya in the Olympic Park.

– Why did you choose this particular apartment?

– The Olympic Park area really appealed to me at that time. After the Olympics, it was stunningly beautiful, unlike the rest of Sochi. That’s why high-quality materials: these items ensure  I monitored developers and the construction of houses in this area. One house was the most attractive to me. By the time I saved up the money, there was only one apartment left in it, unfortunately, without a view. But for me it was as difficult as it was interesting.

I set myself the goal of making it so beautiful and cozy that guests, coming in, would enjoy the overall atmosphere and not notice this small nuance. Also, somehow intuitively, I understood that it was necessary to isolate the bedroom. Often guests come in this composition: mother, children and grandmother to help with the little ones. Or parents just need a rest from an active day spent with children. Therefore, I divided the sleeping areas.

– By the way, you are talking about inspiration now. As I understand, you liked to furnish the apartment, to arrange the space. Did you undergo training?

– I develop design projects myself. I sit home united kingdom email database  down in the evening, take a pen, a notebook, measure and calculate, for me it is comparable to meditation. Previously, there was an idea to undergo training. But the business went well, and I realized that I can cope with the help of internal experience, observation and independent study of the necessary information.

– How do you determine the cost of living in properties? Do you focus on competitors or calculate the desired income taking into account expenses?

– Rather, the second. I know how much I invest in my properties. I always try to choose the best. That’s why I rarely set low prices. Of course, the cost depends on the season. But since I am confident in my apartments, quality and comfort, I am not afraid to set a higher price. As a rule, it works, people book and often return. In my case, the price matches the quality.

– What did you pay more attention to when you posted your first ad? What do you think is more important: a photo, a detailed description or reviews?

I initially had the opinion that the object should be photographed professionally. I don’t know where it came from, because in 2016–2017, most people had amateur photos.
