Geneva, Switzerland -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/24/2010 -- Long holidays have been replaced by short stays, allowing to multiply the destinations. With the democratization of the airplane, in particular due to the rise of the low cost companies, it is now possible to travel around the world as well as to undertake small city getaways during a long weekend.

In 2007, two freshly graduated students, David Frank and Jonathan Guillot, created in this context Escalea Apartments (http://www.escalea.com), an apartment rental company which offers charming, comfortable and prestigious apartments at affordable prices for short term stays in Paris, Madrid and New York. It is now possible to book on the Internet, within a few clicks, sumptuous furnished apartments located in the center of the «city of lights» (from Montmartre to Louvre, through Marais and Saint Germain districts), in the Spanish capital (Chueca, Latina, Puerta del Sol) or in the famous Big Apple (all Manhattan districts as well as Brooklyn): a solution often less expensive and much more pleasant than the hotel… Fully enjoy the city as a real Parisian for a few days.

Finally an opportunity to discover the city from the inside!

Whether it is for business trips, touristic escapades or shopping, the new http://www.escalea.com website offers to dispose of an apartment carefully selected according to predefined criteria in order to make this stay unforgettable. The apartments, which surface varies from 15m2 to 280m2, have all the modern comfort (fully equipped kitchen, linens and towels, washing machine, dish washer, Internet access and occasionally even pool or Jacuzzi…) and cover all the inevitable districts; ideal to freely soak into the local atmosphere! Design and modern or classical decoration, the range of apartments is diverse and complete in order to please everyone. Unlike hotels, you have here the benefit to be in family or with friends in the same place without having to multiply the fees related to the rental of many rooms, while keeping some privacy.

Freedom, flexibility and independence will be the main benefits of this new accommodation way. Aware of the potential of this new market, the ambition of those two young men is, within two years, to expand the same concept to Rome, Amsterdam London as well as Miami.
