Before booking accommodation, you should still read reviews about him on the Internet or find out everything everyday moments from the owner. The problem is that in Abkhazia there are difficulties with housing and communal services, and such a nuisance as the lack of electricity, gas and water can pretty much spoil the vacation.
Most often, multi-storey buildings suffer from this, there are more opportunities in private houses - the owners install an autonomous water supply and a water heater. When checking in, it is imperative to check the serviceability of all sockets and household appliances so that there are no problems with the owners later. If there is a problem, but there is no understanding on the part of the owner, it is better to abandon this option and look for something else, since there are always enough signs for renting out housing in the summer.
