As summer approaches, many people are preparing for their mobility projects: a well-deserved holiday in the sun for some, or an Erasmus internship abroad for others. Planning a stay in another country requires preparation. However, finding accommodation remotely remains one of the biggest challenges.

Many online rental platforms offer attractive listings, but not all of them are reliable. Misleading photos, incomplete information, or unclear terms can make decision-making difficult. On social media or peer-to-peer websites, some individuals take advantage of urgent situations by requesting advance payments without contracts or guarantees. Rental scams are unfortunately common, especially during the summer period.
Additionally, understanding a rental agreement in a foreign language can be complicated. Some local requirements – such as security deposits, insurance, or tourist taxes – are not always clearly explained. And in tourist destinations, demand is always very high between June and August. You need to act fast and, if possible, work with professionals who have access to real and up-to-date listings.
Whether you are looking for a short-term apartment in Malta or student housing in Zagreb, valang consulting can support you through its network of trusted real estate partners across Europe.
Malta, with its Mediterranean climate, beautiful beaches, and rich cultural heritage, is a perfect holiday destination. Easily accessible from France (direct flights with EasyJet from Geneva), the island offers a wide range of accommodations – but these get booked very quickly as summer approaches.

Zagreb, the vibrant capital of Croatia, is becoming increasingly popular with Erasmus students. The city strikes a good balance between quality of life, moderate cost, and a lively student atmosphere. However, navigating the local rental market from abroad is not always easy.
As a European organisation active in both real estate and support services, we offer our expertise and local contacts to secure your search. We work directly with trusted partners in several European countries and always provide personalised assistance.

Our Tips for Finding Safe and Reliable Accommodation :
Start your search early to access affordable and well-located options.
Use trusted platforms or intermediaries. Avoid suspicious offers at all costs.
Always verify information, for example by using your search engine to check addresses or listings.
Never pay without a contract or clear terms. For example, in Malta, some apartments do not include air conditioning or charge extra for electricity. In Zagreb, utility costs may not be included in the advertised rent.
