Default Looking for Historical Character Holiday Flats

When I travel, I prefer to live amongst the locals and be my own boss
rather than be dependant upon reception opening times etc. The best
thing ever is when I find a character place to stay so that it actually
feels like I'm part of the country I'm visiting. Because of this and
because I'm trying to travel as much as I can around Europe in the next
4 years, I'd like to ask if anyone know of any great character holiday
rentals that don't cost the world??

I've found one in London so far, which is a converted church apartment
decorated in medeival but modern style. If anyone else is interested in
this kinds of properties, here is the link:
http://www.london-rent.com/Church/index.htm

I'm especially interested to hear if anyone knows of something similar
to this elsewhere in the UK, in Spain, Portugal, Greece and
Scandinavia.

Cheers!

Try the National Trust and the Landmark Trust both rent historic
buildings.

Thanks Martin,

The problem with those is that they are very expensive. :/

Dave,

If you are going to be accusing me of being a troll - I suggest you
back it up with something other than a CAPS sentence that seems to have
got stuck.

I have a genuine interest in the topic so if you can't be constructive,
I suggest you find some other post to throw accusations at.

Cheers.

Oddly you've never posted anything else, and you popped in to give us
all a link to some apartment. Indeed, you're not a troll but a
spammer. My mistake.

This is great. We've got spam replying to spam, and top posting no
less.

Wouldn't get many takers down here. "Agro" means something
quite different - abbreviated from "aggressive" and meaning
angry and rude:-)
