    Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm planning a holiday to the Costa del Sol in October and have found an apartment through Trip Advisor/Holiday Lettings. The apartment looks lovely and the price is right, but there are only three reviews (all positive I should add). The owner wants a 20% deposit transferred to her bank and the balance 6 weeks prior to arrival. Do I have any comeback on this method of payment should something go wrong? Is there any way of further vetting this apartment or anything I should look out for? It would be my first time renting an apt this way and am a bit nervous.

    I've used holiday lettings a couple of times and wondered the same first time around. Check when the landlord joined holiday lettings, once they have been reg for a few years you know there should be no problem!

    Little or none worth talking about. you have to completely trust the person renting the apartment.
