Hi there,

Just to know a bit more each other, I`ll describe myself in a few words .
As you probably noticed, my name is Stephen Breathnach and I`ve 65 years old, my profession is Consultant Dermatologist. I was trained at Cambridge University, St. Thomas’ Hospital, St. John’s Hospital for Diseases of the Skin, and the National Institutes of Health, USA, obtaining PhD in skin immunology. I`m a diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology, and I was Reader in Dermatology at Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School.

About the apartment.
I bought this apartment for my daughter, but now she moved to Spain. She`ll not use the place any more, so you can rent it even for a long period of time. The minimum rent is one month. The apartment has 2 bedrooms, 89 m2, you can live there max 4-5 persons. You can also register your name with the apartment address.
The apartment is fully furnished but can be rent unfurnished if you want to bring your own furniture.
Last time when I wanted to rent it, no one showed up, so I lost time and money. Therefore, I decided to make the transaction through AirBnb Property Management (www.AirBnb.com) their website is main focused on short term rentals, but they also have an new service for long term rentals. I used AirBnb (for long term rentals) last month when I rented my apartment in London, United Kingdom and I can tell you that it was a great experience and the only way I`ll proceed renting my apartment is by using their service.

The first deposit I require is for the 1st month rent + 2 months security deposit = €1,875 (the 2 months sec. deposit are refundable when you check out).

Using AirBnb involves three parties: me as owner/landlord, you as a potential tenant and AirBnb as a responsible third party authorized to handle this transaction. AirBnb works the same way as the escrow account on which you place the deposit when you rent an apartment. Of course, nobody can take that money until you`ll sign the lease agreement. With this procedure you`ll be able to check the apartment before I receive the payment.
