Only-apartments celebrates its entry in the Alternative Spanish Stock Exchange Market (MAB)

On Monday July 28th took place  the event celebrating Only-apartments’ entry on the MAB. The entire team of Only-apartments, with owners, members and friends, were there to see how the stock market price began. With this, the company is heading towards internationalization and a considerable expansion of its market. With the clear objective to expand and extend our geographical presence, we are planning to open offices in Miami, Asia and London. The company is growing and positioning itself as a trusted brand, which will undoubtedly result in an increase in the number of travelers interested in renting apartments with us. Gradually, we hope to become a benchmark in the tourism sector, keeping the instant online reservations system as the  main claim and advantage over the competition. This is for sure a big step  in the evolution of the company that promises to multiply the business and attract new customers.

Go Kid, travel light by renting your kids’ stuff out!

Dear apartment owners in Milan, it is a pleasure for us to introduce a new great service you can offer to hosts traveling with children: Go Kid. The business owners explain how “We are a big family, and we love travelling. Every journey has always been a big adventure and squeezing all that we need in a piece of luggage, or the car has proven to be impossible.” One day, they thus decided to rent out all the stuff they required for their little tribe. And, matter of fact, everything was easier. When they came back to their home town, Milan, they decided to start offering the same to families: a rental service to help them travel with their little ones. This is how their business started. Today, Go Kid offers high quality products in excellent conditions, sanitized and safety checked after every use. They provide everything you need when travelling with kids: strollers, cots, car seats, highchairs and also toys, bikes and merry-go-rounds. If you have just arrived in the city and need diapers, baby food, organic vegetables or formula, they buy the products you need from the best Italian brands, and you will find your order directly when you get to the apartment you rented. Go Kid also offer to deliver the baby equipment on your arrival at the airport and pick it back up when you leave. With all the caring of a mother to other mothers, to make you and your hosts stay in Milan an unforgettable...
