If you happen to be one of those adventurous spirits of the developed world that have picked the shabby and gritty capital of our increasingly failing state as their holiday destination, it’s very likely that you’ve explored the history, culture and habits of the locals in an unbiased tourist guide. Since fubar cities of Eastern Europe still seem to have an awkwardly high percentage of people who are extraordinarily eager to smother a random English speaking foreigner with endless tales of history (which usually turn out to be utter incoherent bull), we have decided to jump on the bandwagon. Our…

The old year is coming to a close. While the majority of the developed world is enjoying holidays and festive euphoria, Belgrade is waiting for the 31st December to catch up (and then compensate throughout the whole January). Apart from vain New Years resolutions, that we’re probably going to break on the 2nd January, this period of the year is an excellent time to summarize accomplishments and give a shot at planning the future. Belgrade apartments for short term rent market has been as capricious as a diva in a menopause throughout 2014, and instead of infinite ramblings that may…
In over eight years of hard work, our agency has exchanged a number of short term rentals in various locations and of discernibly differing qualities. Something that was considered a pretty good apartment in Belgrade in 2006, is nowadays qualified in the business jargon as a pileofcrapius dilapidates – or a worn off clump of obsolete materials of dubious quality. RENTaSTAN has always pursued to follow the trends in the market and to provide a timely response to the market needs and this pursuit has profiled us into a mid-range service provider that can guarantee to find you an affordable…
Humanity’s wobbling unsteadily into the second decade of 21st century and whilst the flow of people and information is getting cheaper and cheaper, the declining middle class is getting poorer and poorer. One thing is certain: the world is much more accessible to an average mortal than it used to be 30 years ago. As people get to travel more, renting a home to random passers-by has became a neat business opportunity and a way to patch dwindling budgets. Nowadays, most of the developed world, tends to address the established service providers like Booking, AirB’n’B or VRBO. These companies have already become…
Second week of August is that splendid time of the year when both the Sava and the Danube get a bundle of new urinary tributaries coming from the same source in Belgrade’s Ušće (as the grounds around it literally soak in it). It is also the time when it’s absolutely impossible not to run into the traffic police in any of the streets surrounding Branko’s Bridge. On the 13th August, the now traditional five day idolatry to the only alcoholic drink regarded as alimentary article, known as Belgrade Beer Fest, will take place for the twelfth consecutive time in Belgrade. The…
NEW BELGRADE APARTMENTS. The mere notion would have been considered completely absurd twenty years ago. However, the turbulent history of Belgrade has managed to jumble far bigger surprises in the aforementioned period, so the appearance of vacation rentals in New Belgrade is actually a pleasant one. In the past two decades New Belgrade has gone a long way from being a cold gray social-realist residenditial commieblock zone to the contemporary lively business, trading and administrative hub of the capital. Truth be told, there are still certain parts of it that solemnly wear the former repulsivness, masked by massive billboards or…
To be perfectly honest, RESONATE 2014 seems like an extremely eclectic and uber-cool event, even to those with a less sophisticated taste than ours (and ours is fairly unsophisticated). In spite of the ubiquitous hipsterishness about it, anything that even remotely engages and promotes residual creative capacities of this fairly unfortunate part of the world has our undisputed support. RESONATE festival, takes place in the period between 3rd and 5th of April and its participants will have the privilege of hearing some of the most significant people of the creative industry of the world today. This truly is a must for…
Da se razumemo, koncept RESONATE-a 2014, kao zbivanja i manje sofisticiranom oku od našeg (a naše je u nižem rangu sofisticiranosti) deluje vrlo eklektički i uber-kul. Bez obzira na sveprisutan hipsteraj, svako dešavanje koje upošljava i promoviše rezidualne kreativne vrednosti nekadašnjeg centra samoupravljačke imperijice koje BG baštini – svim srcem podržavamo. Ovaj festival traje od 3. do 05. aprila i učesnicima će omogućiti da budu u toku sa najsvežijim zbivanjima u svetskoj kreativnoj industriji. Ako kojim slučajem tražite smeštaj za Resonate 2014 ili preciznije apartmanski smeštaj za resonate 2014, narednih par redaka posvetićemo zgodnim opcijama kratkoročnog najma stanova u Beogradu…
