I agree, great work by Billy and Akaisha. I am not very good at negotiating, and there are some great take-it-to-the bank practical suggestions in there.

Kramer... one very easy way to negotiate is when you ask the clerk if they give discounts for 2 or 3 night's stay, and maybe they say 'no'... Simply respond with a smile on your face, maybe looking a bit distressed and say "I'd really like to stay here, I like this place, but can only pay X. Will you take X?"

In our decades of travel around the world, we have found how powerful social connection/interaction really is. Interrelationship is valued in many cultures and while it might take a bit more time in the moment, it pays dividends.As Billy implied, the genuine compliment about the place coupled with the gentle price reduction request sealed the deal. It also helps when you are deal with small B&B type places which have the power to reduce the price and the desire for occupancy.
We are so glad she did because this was one of the best places I've every stayed at and we loved the [foodie] owners recommendations for restaurants in the neighborhood! Just over $70/night with breakfast for a two bedroom apartment with kitchen in one of the best neighborhoods in town.
+1. Excellent, informative article.
