Arthur Frommer
Arthur Frommer, the legendary writer, publisher and consumer advocate for budget travel, yesterday threw his weight behind holiday apartments as the best way for Americans to save money in Europe.
In a blog post, he noted that the decreasing value of the Euro and British pound against the dollar has been counteracted by rising airfares from America to Europe – unless Americans can find a cheaper source of accommodation than hotels.
And the author of the seminal guidebook Europe on 5 Dollars a day believes that holiday apartments are the best bet. Frommer stated that “Europe is abundantly stocked with real estate agents who will rent you a spacious apartment in a fairly central location for much less than you’d spend at an equivalent hotel”.
Funnily enough, it’s what we’ve been saying for ages!
