Hello again,

Please let me explain in few words how we can complete this deal through Airbnb:

The first thing I need to register this contract through Airbnb and I need some details from you:

- your complete name;
- Cell phone and Work phone;
- Profession;
- Your complete present address;
- How many adults will live in the apartment;
- The date when you want to move ( it have to be after October 15, 2017 ). The apartment is busy now.
- The period you want to rent the apartment ( I'm interested in renting for a long period );
- If you have a pet. What kind of pet?
- Habits: Do you smoke? Do you drink?
- A copy of your ID ( optional ).

After I receive your details, I will list the apartment on Airbnb, and they will send you the link where you need to complete the reservation.

Once the reservation is confirmed, you will meet with an Airbnb agent, on the arrival date, in front of the building, and he will give you the keys and show you the apartment. Also, you will sign all the papers and documents. If it's something you don't like it, or if the apartment isn't as described you will receive a full refund, with no further questions in 24 hours. But I am 100% sure that you will love this apartment, and this won't happen.


Thanks! James Allen Smith
