The main plus of a daily rent apartment in an old building is the location. In Baku some old buildings stand right in the center, and from there you can walk to the boulevard and Icherisheher. The price is usually lower than in a new building on the same block.

In return, keep the age of the building in mind. Khrushchyovkas have no elevator, so you carry your suitcase up to the top floor by hand. Even if the inside has fresh renovation, the entrance stays old, so be ready for that. Ask where the hot water comes from, a water heater or a combi boiler: in a building with a water heater and weak pressure, showering becomes a problem. We covered the difference between these two types of buildings in the article new building or old building.

Not every apartment has air conditioning; if you're traveling in summer, use the "Air conditioning" filter.

What should I watch for when renting a daily rent apartment?

You'll be asked for an ID at check-in, so keep it handy. As soon as you enter the apartment, check the hot water, the air conditioning and the door lock; if something is wrong, write to the owner the same day and send photos. New listings are moderated, but photos may be old, so don't pay the full amount without seeing the apartment. If you notice wrong information in a listing, press "Report listing."
