I really did want to view in person but I dont fly over until late next month. I thought i was lucky because i found this agent who would do short term rental for me (<90 days), and a lot of other agents were not interested. I heard from other places also that 90 day rental is difficult to find? seems a bit too long for airbnb etc. but a lot of other agents advertising apartments are only looking for tenants for longer term. I enquired about 6-7 other places before this one and none offered short term rentals.

Ok, its true as most owners are not keen on such a short rental period esp less than 3 months but having said that I don't know whether its wise to pay without viewing the contract first ..it maybe totally one sided
and since you have paid then you will be at the losing end.

Normally if my prospective tenant request for contract to view first without paying a deposit, I have no problem with that but in the end its up to the owner/agents if they agree to do so...weird but true.

So its basically whether you want to take the risk of doing so..

Also pictures may differ from actual..

so again, do you want to take the risk..
