Are London’s gorgeous boroughs and cultural treasures calling your name? Weighing the benefits and drawbacks of living in London was an important element of our decision to relocate from the United States. And, while we wouldn’t trade our new expat life for anything, it is not without its difficulties.

Endless amounts of things to do

You’ll never be bored in London.

London offers approximately 15,000 restaurants, over 100 theaters, over 200 museums, and dozens of tourist sites. Not to mention the city’s enormous quantity of stores, parks, festivals, and one-of-a-kind events.

And, contrary to popular belief, many of the best things to do in London are free! You can visit the National Gallery, Natural History Museum, British Library, and dozens of other attractions for free (but donations are encouraged).

You could spend every minute of every weekend touring London’s attractions and never see them all. Because there is so much to do, but also because new bars, exhibits, and stores open all the time.

If you believe that variety is the spice of life, you’ll feel perfectly at home in London.

Drawback: You may experience choice overload.

Toward the conclusion of our first year in the capital, I understood that all of these options were both advantages and disadvantages of living in London.

We kept a spreadsheet of locations we wanted to visit and restaurants we wanted to try when we lived in Philadelphia and Austin. It was enjoyable to refer to this list and organize our weekend activities.

But when I tried the same spreadsheet strategy in London, I was completely overwhelmed. We had WAY too many incredible things we wanted to see, experience, and eat. Keeping track of everything was more of a futile job than a feasible bucket list.

Choice overload is a true psychological impact that occurs when we are provided with an excessive number of options. Instead of picking from a plethora of options every weekend, we resorted to repeating the same old thing. My husband quipped that he likes living in London because he can hop on the tube and go wherever he wants at any time–a lovely theory, but rarely put into practice.

Benefit:There is a lot of history and famous places

Do you want to see a two-thousand-year-old Roman wall? What about the bar where Charles Dickens used to drink after a long day of writing? Perhaps famous movie sites are more your style.

Whatever your interests are, London’s historic and iconic locations will not disappoint. The city boasts layers upon layers of history, political intrigue, glitter, and splendor. And, happily, most of it has been preserved for both locals and tourists to enjoy today.

It’s always a good idea to start with some classic London landmarks like Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey. However, once you’ve completed your bucket list, there are plenty of non-touristy things to do in London during your free evenings and weekends.

Visit the Handel and Hendrix Museum for an unusual combination of music history. Admire the Osterley Park house’s kept decor. At Leadenhall Market, pretend you’re in Diagon Alley. It’s all there for you to explore at your leisure.

Drawback: Having to share the city with swarms of tourists

Being surrounded by historical landmarks, as well as swarms of tourists gawking at them, is one of the benefits and drawbacks of living in London.

The quantity of tourists in America pales in comparison to the amount of sightseers I encounter in central London. During the peak travel season in August, I entirely avoid Zone 1. I once made the mistake of meeting my husband for lunch outside St. Paul’s Cathedral on a Friday in mid-August, and it turned out to be one of the most stressful moments of my London life.

Living in London will be a huge adjustment if you’ve never lived in a strongly touristed city. Especially if you don’t have time for slow walkers, selfie takers, or those who don’t know how to use public transportation.

Benefit: Many green gardens to tour

Did you realize that 47% of London is green space? Outsiders envision the capital as a bustling metropolis of glass, stone, and steel. However, parks, gardens, and commons cover over half of the capital.

Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, and Regent’s Park are all located in the city center. There are also hundreds of grassy getaways spread across bustling Zone 1. Some of my favorite escapes are St. Dunstan’s in the East and St. Paul’s Cathedral’s rear gardens.

Drawback: Commons and parks are not usually well-kept.

The disadvantage of enormous swathes of green space is that they are difficult to keep clean without an army of employees. Perhaps if all Brits (and tourists) were as environmentally aware as the Japanese are, we wouldn’t have to dodge broken glass and takeout containers on our nightly strolls.

While the tourists green places are kept tidy, the domestic parks and commons are not. To be fair, circumstances are quite nice during the cooler months. However, during the summer, the trash cans cannot keep up with the volume of garbage.

Benefit: Wages are higher in comparison to the rest of the UK.

London is the place to be. Aside from being Europe’s financial capital, it is also where ambitious British workers come to earn a fair living.

A full-time London worker’s annual wage is around £36,000. This is about 25% higher than the North East region of England.

London wages are higher for a number of reasons. Obviously, living in the cosmopolitan capital is more expensive than elsewhere in the UK, and this is reflected in earnings. However, London has a profusion of high-paying occupations in tech and finance, which raises the median.

Drawback: The cost of living is among the highest in the world.

Despite the fact that London has (happily) dropped in the rankings of the world’s most expensive cities, the cost of living here remains pretty high. Many of our monthly expenses in London greatly outweigh those in Philadelphia and Austin. And if you’re coming from a small town, the charges may appear exorbitant.

High rents are a major factor in London’s exorbitant cost of living. However, I’ve noticed that restaurant meals, drinks (particularly cocktails), haircuts, and apparel are all expensive.

Having said that, some of our costs are comparable to those of big US cities. Our typical food cost from one of London’s main supermarkets, for example, is roughly the same as it was in Philadelphia and Austin.

Benefit: City is well-connected by tube

The London Underground is my favorite mode of transportation. Yes, it’s dirty, the air is toxic, and there’s always some slow pedestrian who causes me to miss my train by a second… But I enjoy how simple it is to navigate the city beneath its streets.

There are 11 tube lines in London that connect 270 stations. Even if you live in Zone 3 or 4, you can generally get to your destination with just one line change. If you’re looking for a way to go around the city center, the District/Circle line makes a loop through the most popular areas and attractions.

I also like that most tube stations feature elevators and escalators, which make them more accessible and convenient for passengers with luggage. You can even bring your dog on the tube (though they cannot ride the escalators), so if you don’t have a car, you can go on adventures with your canine.

Drawback: During rush hour, several lines are quite congested.

We have the misfortune of residing on the Northern line, London’s busiest commuter line. During morning rush hour, our line is at 130% capacity, which means there’s barely enough room to breathe as you’re herded into a crowded and stuffy car.

Not to mention the ongoing engineering projects that cause you to change your route for days or months at a time. They’re one of the things I despise the most about London.

Fortunately, I work from home, and my husband modifies his in-office hours to avoid the excessive crowds. But if you’re not as lucky and have to utilize the Northern, Central, or Jubilee lines during rush hour, I wish you luck.

Benefit: There are plenty of transportation links to the UK

Easy travel was near the top of our list of benefits and downsides of living in London.

All of the major railways in the United Kingdom go through London, thus there are numerous alternatives for London day trips by train. Heathrow’s proximity allows for direct flights to practically anyplace in the world. The Continent is only a short flight away, thanks to six major airports and the Eurostar international train terminal at St. Pancras.

Weekend trips to Prague or overnight stays in Paris are perfectly inexpensive. Not just because the distance is small, but also because low-cost flights and train ticket offers make travel reasonable. We’ve purchased plane tickets to Italy and train tickets to Brussels for less than the price of a city meal!

Drawback: Travel time has risen due to Brexit.

We miss arriving at St. Pancras 20 minutes before our train departs as frequent passengers. With the UK leaving the EU at the end of 2020, border clearance is no longer a quick process.

Although the multi-hour lines that occurred immediately after Brexit will not be the new normal, it is reasonable to anticipate that security and immigration will consume more of your vacation time.

Benefit: Lovely character homes and flats

Historic architecture has always piqued my interest. That’s why I moved to Philadelphia after graduating from university! Fortunately, London is brimming with stunning period properties and vibrant row houses.

From Kensington’s majestic black and white façade to Notting Hill’s colorful mews, London’s residences and apartments are on par with the city’s more recognized tourist attractions. I enjoy strolling around residential areas and observing the beautiful architectural details that range from Georgian to Victorian to Edwardian.

Drawback: Rental market is expensive and competitive.

Housing is something that many people overlook when weighing the benefits and drawbacks of living in London. They specifically do not consider the compromises required to live near the city core.

Many Londoners envisage themselves living in a character property close to shops, pubs, and a great tube station. And, while having all of those things is undoubtedly doable, the ordinary person will be sharing that wonderful character flat with numerous roommates in order to make ends meet.

Finding a London flat is difficult due to the highly competitive rental market and excessive real estate costs. The greatest properties in popular communities are under contract within 24 hours of being listed publicly (and many more are sold before they are publicized online).

When looking for a place, keep an open mind and a list of “must-haves” in mind, especially if you wish to live in Zone 1.

Benefit: Excellent restaurants and a diverse food scene

With over 15,000 restaurants in the capital, 70 of which have Michelin stars, I’d argue that one of the nicest aspects of living in London is the food.

The cuisine scene in London reflects the city’s incredible diversity. Every night for two months, you could eat a different cuisine.

Some cities pride themselves on their Caribbean, Chinese, or Latin American food. However, there are entire restaurants in London dedicated to Tuscan cuisine, Trinidadian meals, and Nepalese cuisine.

In addition, the city is home to some of the world’s best and most distinctive restaurants, such as Gordan Ramsay’s in Chelsea and Sketch tea cafe in Mayfair.

Drawback: Dining out costs a lot of money.

Dining out is an expensive experience in London.

While you can get cheap food like kebabs or fish and chips, a mid-range dinner and a drink would set you back roughly £25-30. Entrees at more upscale restaurants cost £40 or more, with tasting menus costing £100 or more.

It’s a fine line between sampling new eateries and being able to pay the rent. Keep an eye on your dining out budget and consider having beverages at home to save money.

Benefit: Hundreds of cafes and eateries provide delivery service.

When it comes to food, you aren’t confined to in-person dining experiences. You can enjoy hundreds of different cafes and restaurants from the comfort of your own home thanks to applications like Deliveroo and Just Eat.

Even in our Zone 3 area, Deliveroo offers over 150 delivery possibilities. And it isn’t just for lunch and dinner. There are a dozen breakfast and brunch spots around that will deliver avocado toast and chai lattes right to our house.

Drawback: Londoners flock to easily accessible beaches.

Because many Londoners do not own a car, they spend their weekends and holidays in places with good train connections to the metropolis. As a result, when the weather warms up, Brighton, Eastbourne, Margate, and other seaside areas become extremely crowded.

Benefit: The population is diverse and welcoming to expats.

According to the most recent UK census, more than one-third of Londoners are foreign-born. Hundreds of countries and languages are represented in this metropolis, giving it the feel of a genuine international capital.

One of the coolest experiences I had after landing in London was hearing so many various languages and dialects spoken around me. My neighbors are from the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Italy, India, and Russia… I enjoy living in a major international city.

Drawback: Brexit has caused political and legal unrest.

Since the initial 2016 referendum, nationalism has been on the rise. EU residents who have lived in the UK for years are unsure whether they may stay or what their rights will be following the final discussions. And, just months before the UK is set to terminate free movement with the EU, the new points-based immigration reform is still being worked out.

If you’re an EU citizen assessing the advantages and cons of relocating to London, Brexit uncertainty will almost certainly be at the top of the “cons” list. Only time will tell how difficult it will be for the rest of us to make our London fantasies a reality.

The Hamptons season is almost here since the weather is getting warmer and summer is drawing nearer. Discover when to visit, where to stay, and what to do in the Hamptons in our comprehensive planning guide.

When is the best time to visit the Hamptons?

Whilst the Hamptons are spectacular in the summer, don’t overlook Long Island’s South Fork during its off-season. May and September, known as the “shoulder season,” are ideal months to visit this part of New York. Prices have dropped, the crowds have thinned out, and several restaurants have already opened. Furthermore, because the Hamptons is insulated on all sides, the temperature is somewhat warmer than it is in New York City, which means beach weather arrives a few weeks sooner and lasts a few weeks longer.

So, when making vacation plans, don’t limit yourself to June, July, and August. The greatest times to visit the Hamptons are before and after the hordes arrive.

Should you go to East Hampton or Southampton?

East Hampton and Southampton, the two towns that make up the Hamptons, have dramatically diverse scenery, and where you end up depends on your mood. If you want a laid-back, surfer experience, the villages to the east may be for you: Beautiful beaches, superb restaurants, and a more casual environment can be found in East Hampton, Amagansett, and Montauk. Meanwhile, Springs, which has long been a haven for locals and artists, remains an off-the-beaten-path location for people seeking less crowded bay beaches and spectacular sunsets.

The town of Southampton, to the west, includes the hamlets of Bridgehampton, part of Sag Harbor, Sagaponack, and Southampton Village. If you’re looking for a more formal Hamptons experience, this may be the slice of East End for you. Old estates, galas, and polo matches are de rigueur on this side of the town line. If you are into these activities then this is the place for you. 

Where to Stay in the Hamptons?

Few hotels provide a more enticing stay than Airbnb.com,  and VRBO furnished homes, like a sunset view of Lake Montauk with Keller Hotels Private Residences. The hotel’s combination of rooms and cottages is right next to its popular Mediterranean-style restaurant, which is always busy from May to September.

Where are the Best Beaches in the Hamptons?

Where should you spend your time sunbathing in the east? That is partly a matter of personal preference. If you’re not from the Hamptons, there are a few options for paid day parking lots. Cooper’s Beach in Southampton is a long, broad beach with amenities and a large parking area.

Foster Memorial Beach (formerly known as Long Beach) in Sag Harbor is perfect for people who prefer to swim in shallow, calm waters or prefer a shorter walk to the sand. It is also accessible to the general public.

Atlantic Avenue Beach in Amagansett is available to the public and features lifeguards, restaurants, restrooms, and an active surf break. Finally, near Montauk, Kirk Park Beach’s pay lot provides bathrooms and a short stroll across magnificent dunes, where lucky visitors may just view whales breaching offshore during the height of summer.

What type of Activities to do in the Hamptons?

Relax after a morning at the beach by strolling around Sagaponack’s Madoo Conservancy’s well kept gardens. This gorgeous area, founded in 1967 by artist, writer, and gardener Robert Dash, is like stepping into a magical dreamscape.

If the weather isn’t cooperating, drive to Bridgehampton’s Scuttle Hole Road for seated tastings at Channing Daughters Winery (reservations are recommended). You can even make a day of it by stopping by Wölffer Estate Vineyard in adjacent Sagaponack for a glass of the winery’s acclaimed rosé, followed by a digestif at Sagaponack Farm Distillery on the South Fork.

Carissa’s Bakery (two East Hampton locations) has a loaf of still-warm olive ciabatta. And, of course, no trip to the Hamptons would be complete without a meal at East Hampton’s decades-old celebrity magnet, Nick & Toni’s (reservations required).

The post South Africa: Why You Should Vacation appeared first on Keller Hotels Private Residences.

]]>

Without a question, Cape Town is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. But many visitors who came for a brief vacation ended up settling down and staying for several months, years, or even their entire lives. There is a reason Cape Town has grown to be a popular travel and expat destination that goes beyond its unmatched natural beauty.

You can afford to live a happy life.​​

Even the most superficial traveler finds it challenging to permanently leave Cape Town behind because of the vivid atmosphere that permeates the city and its surroundings. Here are some reasons why even a brief stay in Cape Town will have a significant effect.

You’re surrounded by nature

For those who enjoy the outdoors, Cape Town is the ideal city. If you want to leave the city quickly, it won’t take you long to find yourself on a beach, at the base of a mountain, or deep in a forest. It’s difficult to resist soaking up some of the outdoor joy and energy when you see trails and beaches crowded with beaming local fitness freaks sporting the newest sportswear on a windless summer day.

It's one of the most accessible and safest city centers in South Africa.

In terms of crime and general quality of life, central business areas in South Africa have a reputation. Even though improvements are being made in numerous CBDs around South Africa, Cape Town has taken the lead as the region’s liveliest, safest, and most accessible city center. The city is a terrific area to live because of all the restaurants, coffee shops, businesses, pubs, clubs, and apartments that are located there and nearby. While it is generally safe to stroll around during the day, you should always be on the lookout for danger, especially after dark.

For tourists and locals who are fortunate enough to reside in the more affluent neighborhoods, Cape Town is generally a safe city. But bear in mind that this is not Canada or Scandinavia, so you should lock your automobiles, hide your valuables, and stay out of the shadows. You’ll leave Cape Town with street smarts that’ll serve you well for any future international travel by increasing your awareness of potentially dangerous situations and teaching you not to fear every person walking in your direction who looks a little different from you.

There’s always something to do

Living in Cape Town ensures that fun is never far away. There are events, celebrations, and festivals happening all the time throughout the year, but especially in the summer. Large-scale weekend concerts, sporting events, food and beverage gatherings, and film festivals… In a place like this, whether you’re here for two weeks or two years, it takes a unique kind of effort to get bored.

There are many nearby communities outside of the city to explore.

There are a ton of fantastic road-trip alternatives available from the Mother City, including those to the Overberg, Garden Route, and the West Coast, if the jam-packed events schedule isn’t enough to pique your interest. There are simple day trips to wine areas and some beautiful tiny villages if you’re searching for something a little closer to home.

Although it’s simple to visit Cape Town and live in a bubble of pricey cappuccinos and sunset drinks, residing here gives you the chance to learn about how the nation is battling inequality, poverty, and unemployment. You can learn a lot about the amazing work that many people are doing to end years of injustice and inequality if you step outside of your comfort zone or volunteer at one of the numerous organizations located in the city. However, even if that isn’t your only reason for traveling and you don’t want to venture too far from your comfort zone, living in Cape Town while maintaining some self-awareness and sensitivity to others’ feelings will be an eye-opening experience.

There is some good news in South Africa and Cape Town.

Despite the country’s obvious problems, even a brief stay here will convince you that life in the southernmost point of the continent is not all doom and gloom. An lengthy stay here will demonstrate that, despite its challenges, the nation still manages to function well, has a fantastic free press, solid court system, and a healthy democracy. It will also demonstrate that major cities like Cape Town are on par with many others across the world. Additionally, you may discover how really multicultural and diversified the nation is and how a trip to even one South African city cannot suffice to give you a full grasp of the enormous African continent.

You'll get to know some incredible residences

Due to everything said above, Cape Town has developed into a hub of fascinating and daring people from all over the world. You’ll run with kind and hospitable South Africans, a few true Capetonians, wide-eyed, eager visitors, and a sizeable group of expats who have made this city their home, at least for the time being. All of this will make it very difficult to leave and much more difficult to remain away.

Places to go in Beverly Hills and nearby

Even while Beverly Hills is a bustle of activity during the day, it’s not generally thought of as a town that frequents nightclubs. Businesses close early, with the exception of restaurants and a few bars. The Sunset Strip and West Hollywood (WeHo) are better bets if you want to turn it up a notch. You may expect to find most of the action there.
  • Afternoon tea at the Beverly Hills Hotel
  • Espresso sipping and people watching at Urth Café
  • Beer, bourbon, and burgers at The Honor Bar
  • Dinner and drinks at Mastro’s – recommendations include the bone-in ribeye, lobster mashed potatoes, and warm butter cake dessert
  • Get a mani/pedi and your nails done at Kote Beauty House
  • Treat yourself to something sweet: buy a cupcake from an ATM machine at Sprinkles Cupcakes’flagship bakery

Laughable Beverly Hills Facts

  1. The “Platinum Triangle” of opulent Los Angeles communities is made up of the trio of Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Holmby Hills.
  2. On top of a former field of lima beans, the Beverly Hills Hotel was erected. Its pool’s edges formerly served as miniature beaches with sand brought in from Arizona.
  3. Actually, Beverly Hills as a whole was previously a ranch for Spanish lima beans. Here, the first house was constructed in 1907.
  4. The city has received the Tree City USA title every year for the past three decades in recognition of its urban forestry master plan. All parkway trees are maintained by the parks and recreation department, and native plants growing on private property are also protected.
  5. The first Cheesecake Factory restaurant opened in Beverly Hills in 1978.

Moving to Beverly Hills?

Undoubtedly, Southern California’s and Los Angeles County’s most famous neighborhood is Beverly Hills. It is both a location (a separate city encircled by Los Angeles) and a symbol (the personification of the media, celebrity, and fortune).

From the song “White Christmas” by Irving Berlin through the movie “Pretty Woman,” generations have been introduced to the city through cinematic cameos and song lyrics. Even one of the city’s zip codes, 90210, is well-known; it’s conceivably the most well-known in the world since the airing of the television series from the 1990s with the numeric string in its name.

However, did you realize that Beverly Hills has a population of only 35,000 people? It is, in fact, a Los Angeles suburb. Few visitors or outsiders would assume Beverly Hills is a small community. Just like kids everywhere else, children grow up, attend Beverly Hills High School (or a similar elite institution), and form lasting friendships. It’s true that things are a little more complicated and wealthy here. However, there are strong ties and roots here.

Regarding Beverly Hills’ physical layout, Santa Monica Boulevard, where Pacific Electric previously ran streetcars along their Red Line, divides it into north and south halves. Locals continue to refer to the city’s northern and southern regions as “north of the tracks” or “south of the tracks.” The areas of the City of Los Angeles north of Santa Monica Boulevard up to Mulholland Drive are referred to as being “north of the tracks,” including the City of Beverly Hills. Downtown Beverly Hills and its surrounding residential areas are referred to as being “south of the tracks.”

Beverly Hills Flats

Between Sunset Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard is where “the Flat’s” neighborhood is situated. The Beverly Hills mansions may be located in its tree-lined roads, which helps to explain why there are so many of them there. The neighborhood’s relatively level topography and its ample lot sizes. Architecturally speaking, homes in Beverly Hills Flats range from luxurious French Chateaux and Georgian Estates to Spanish Revival and Modern homes.

Daily habits might be as regular as they are everywhere else, with many residents getting up and exercising in the morning. Beverly Gardens Park, a long greenway that hugs Santa Monica Boulevard’s northern edge, is one of the greatest sites to do this. The gravel path is ideal for both jogging and walking. To lengthen their course, runners can weave through and around The Flats. You’ll go by the Electric Fountain, the Beverly Hills Sign, the Lily Pond, and a few sculptures. Even a few ducks or someone doing Tai chi on the lawn can be visible.

Additionally, the Beverly Gardens Park hosts the twice-yearly art SHOW (in May and October), where more than 200 local and foreign artists exhibit their work. The appeal of this gathering is that attendees can talk with painters, sculptures, jewelers, and other artists face-to-face. Having conversations with artists enhances the experience. There are food trucks, beer gardens, and wine gardens on site, and the atmosphere is laid-back. You could plan a day around it. And, oh yes, dogs are always permitted.

Beverly Hills above Sunset Boulevard

The entrances of Benedict and Coldwater Canyons can be found by heading north from The Flats. Drivers on these major thoroughfares begin a slow ascent deeper into the Santa Monica Mountains. Although Will Rogers Memorial Park is located across from the Beverly Hills Hotel (also known as the Pink Flamingo), this area of Beverly Hills is mostly residential. The bungalows, poolside cabanas, Polo Lounge, and banana leaf wallpaper all successfully combine elegance and informal comfort. The Tudor Revival home and well-known filming location (Batman & Robin, The Big Lebowski, The Dirty Dozen, to mention a few) Greystone home is the final significant tourist destination before vehicles enter the hillside completely. The park grounds are open to the public every day. When it was constructed in 1928, it was the most costly house in California. The cost of real estate in Los Angeles County is among the highest in Beverly Hills Gateway.

Trousdale Estates

Trousdale Estates, a neighborhood renowned for its high proportion of Modern and Mid Century Modern luxury residences, is located just northeast of the Greystone Mansion. A tranquil atmosphere is produced by the natural surroundings (lots of trees and rich gardening). Residents may gaze across the L.A. Basin because the area is situated for stunning city vistas when they’re not admiring the landscape and architecture. The City of Beverly Hills includes Trousdale Estates.

Beverly Hills Post Office (BHPO)

More gated communities, residential neighborhoods, and enclaves can be found if you continue climbing the hills, just past Beverly Hills Gateway and to the west of Trousdale Estates. The other communities are referred to as the “Beverly Hills Post Office” region; these residences have 90210 zip codes but are actually located in the City of Los Angeles, not Beverly Hills. On a simple level, it shows who removes your trash or puts out fires.

Between Trousdale Estates and Bel Air, the neighborhoods of Beverly Glen and Benedict Canyon follow the ridges and ravines of the hills. The gated communities of Beverly Park, Mulholland Estates, and The Summit are good options for anybody considering moving to Beverly Hills who need more privacy and security.

South of Wilshire Blvd

The commercial hub of Beverly Hills is the Golden Triangle, along with many other things. Beverly Hills is not all glitz and glamour. The city is incredibly handy and practical for its citizens. For instance, the Beverly Hills Dog Park (344 Foothill Rd) offers canines a handy off-leash area right in the middle of the city. But there’s a catch: only registered city residents, hotel guests, and Beverly Hills employees are permitted access to the park. Park rangers patrol the area and will cite anyone who tries to enter illegally.

Do you enjoy eating local, fresh food and assisting farmers? Visit the convenient, compact, and welcoming Beverly Hills Farmers’ Market on Sundays from 9 am to 1 pm. Because there is plenty of free parking close by, grocery shopping is a low-stress activity. The stalls are occupied by about 60 sellers. For children, there is a tiny petting zoo.

Another valued local resource is the Beverly Hills Public Library, which provides what you’d expect from a neighborhood library: a wide range of books, activities, and events for kids, teens, and adults of all ages. There are several “story time” times available for younger children, and there are adult reading clubs. The library even offers a quick application or renewal for a U.S. passport, which is convenient. Here’s a great piece of advice for anyone wishing to read or study at the library: go to the Quiet Reading Room in the back.

The Shops of Rodeo Drive

The epicenter of Los Angeles’ upscale shopping and world-class dining, Rodeo Drive, is located in the center of the Golden Triangle. Al fresco dining is popular, and sipping daytime espresso at sidewalk tables allows locals to unwind, enjoy the sunshine, and people watch. There’s plenty to see and chat about, and the mood is friendly.

Although Rodeo Drive has a reputation for expensive shops and exotic vehicles driving up and down it, it is significantly shorter than most people think. There are only three blocks in it. But within that small area of sidewalk and pavement, there are opulent shops with a stellar reputation for their attentive staff and covert pricing. Nary a classic department shop is in sight, to paraphrase an old J.P. Morgan saying, “If you must ask how much it costs…”

Beverly Hills Doheny South West and South East

Doheny SW and Doheny SE are two residential neighborhoods close to Beverly Hills High that can be found just south of Rodeo, across Wilshire Boulevard. As compared to the north of the tracks where double-digit million dollar homes are more typical, these communities have homes that cost in the single digit millions. Here, houses are situated on grid-organized lots with symmetrical shapes. Trees of the same species, such as Southern magnolias, pink cedars, and queen palms, are uniformly planted in each block.

Roxbury Park just before Pico Blvd

One of the locals’ favorite resources is a park with the same name that is located in the Roxbury area. You’ll find a spot to rest here on luscious green grass behind shady trees. You can have a picnic there or let the kids run around and let off steam. In addition to a playground, the park has spaces for baseball, basketball, tennis, sand volleyball, and lawn bowling. The Roxbury Library is a useful neighborhood resource that is located inside the park’s boundaries.

The City hosts the enjoyable, kid-friendly Woodstock 90210 event every year, which also features cuisine, live entertainment, and pet adoption and rescue. Pet-related goods and services are on display throughout the park from around 35 vendors. A ceremony honoring the “best dressed” and “most talented” pets concludes the parade and talent competition.

How to Use Turo to Rent a Car https://staykellerhotels.com/how-to-use-turo-to-rent-a-car/ Thu, 04 May 2023 20:06:20 +0000 https://staykellerhotels.com/?p=1013 The largest peer-to-peer car-sharing firm in the world....Read More

The post How to Use Turo to Rent a Car appeared first on Keller Hotels Private Residences.

]]>

The largest peer-to-peer car-sharing firm in the world, Turo, formerly known as RelayRides, enables owners to make additional money by renting out their vehicles while providing a quicker and more convenient means of transportation for those in need.

From choosing the automobile type to dates, features, and amenities, Turo operates similarly to Airbnb. Turo is also likely to be less expensive than standard car rentals and can avoid the lengthy lines and expensive fees.

Guests under the age of 25 are also permitted to rent cars through Turo with the right documentation and protection. In addition, Turo provides customers with the ideal vehicle for every circumstance, whether it be traveling in a stylish luxury vehicle or a budget-friendly but dependable vehicle.

Where is Toro Available?

The US, Canada (outside of the northern area, except for Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec), and the UK all provide Turo car rentals. Remember that although if Turo is less prevalent in some nations than other peer-to-peer car-sharing services, you can still plan a trip with a commercial host in these and other places across the world.

How to get started with Toro?

Turo helps local car owners make money from a vehicle that could otherwise go unused for long periods of time by matching them with persons in the community who need a vehicle. All you have to do is sign up for a Turo account, register, and list your car on the Turo website or mobile app. Listings feature images of the vehicles, summaries of their fundamental components, information on optional extras like specified pickup locations, and owner ratings.

The numerous plans that determine what percentage goes to them and what goes back to Turo are then chosen by Turo hosts. Additionally, making a reservation online or via an app enables direct communication between the owner and the renter.

The Benefits and Drawbacks of Renting a Car on Turo

Benefits

1. More Bookings

When you live close to an airport or a major city, or if Turo is quite well-known, you may receive a lot of bookings. Expect your vehicle to receive a lot of bookings as well provided it is reasonably priced, available, and offers specific amenities.

2. Easy to use

Being a host on Turo’s website or app is simple to register for. The user interface is intuitive and simple to use, particularly when using functions like editing, messages, bookings, and payment. In addition, you can specify the rental conditions and the availability of the vehicle.

3. Insurance Protection

Turo has five different types of insurance plans on their platform which covers host, like Keller Hotels,  if renters damage property or cause bodily harm to other road users while driving.

4. Free Registration

There are no hidden costs associated with signing up with Turo, including no background check fees. It is as easy as creating an account on the website and adding your car.

Drawbacks

Larger Commission Fee

In contrast to Airbnb, Turo charges a hefty commission of 15 to 40% of a single booking, depending on the host’s protection plan. However, about 8% of the booking fee is still charged to hosts who choose to forego their protection plans in favor of their own.

2. Customer Service no responsive in some areas

For lesser issues like a late pickup or return, Turo’s customer assistance is dependable and available around-the-clock. However, the procedure for filing a damage claim requires that you first open a ticket for claims and wait for the company’s response via email, which could take a while to complete. As a result, the entire process may end up being very frustrating.

3. Exclusivity Agreement

Being bound by Turo’s exclusivity agreement prevents all listed vehicles from being listed on other car-sharing platforms, which can be a drawback. Additionally, the business will charge a fine or close accounts if the agreement is broken.

4. Damage Claims Terms unfavorable

Even though Turo provides insurance for your car, you only have a limited amount of time to file a claim for damages. Accordingly, you will only have 24 hours to report any damages. As a result, it’s crucial to give yourself enough time to check the car before the renter picks it up and to remember to take pictures both before and after they return it.

5. Your cars Interior Wear and Tear isn’t Covered by Insurance

Remember that not all insurance policies cover wear and tear, so if you decide to sign up, your car will wear out more quickly than if you kept it for personal use.

With 1.485 million residents, Palm Beach County is the most populous county in Florida. From West Palm Beach to the small village of Cloud Lake, which has 136 persons, they are spread among 39 municipalities. Beyond Palm Beach (population 8,500), other significant cities include Boca Raton, Jupiter, Wellington, Boynton Beach, and Delray Beach, each having its own distinct personality.

Things to Know About Palm Beach

With 1.485 million residents, Palm Beach County is the most populous county in Florida. From West Palm Beach to the small village of Cloud Lake, which has 136 persons, they are spread among 39 municipalities. Beyond Palm Beach (population 8,500), other significant cities include Boca Raton, Jupiter, Wellington, Boynton Beach, and Delray Beach, each having its own distinct personality. Miami and Fort Lauderdale are both easily accessible by car, and you can also take the commuter train to both of those cities.

Here are some things to be aware of if you’re considering moving to West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, or another city in Palm Beach County. Palm Beach may conjure up images of high society, golf, country clubs, and charity parties. However, the prosperous city of Palm Beach represents only a small portion of the thriving and varied group of towns that make up Palm Beach County. The main city is West Palm Beach, which has all the culture and amenities you’d anticipate from a major metropolis, as well as a booming downtown. More than 110,000 individuals reside in West Palm Beach.

All cities are NOT a like

Among its localities, Palm Beach County offers a very varied selection of housing possibilities. Try the downtown area of West Palm Beach if you want to experience city living. suburbs that welcome families? The top two cities are Wellington and Boca Raton, though we should caution you that opinions on Boca Raton are divided. a welcoming coastal town? There are two options: Jupiter and Delray Beach, with Jupiter being the less crowded and quieter option. Consider Lake Worth if you’re looking for a cool, artsy ambiance. About 410 people live in Briny Breezes, a private community of mobile homes on the oceanfront, the most of them seniors. In the county’s western region, there are additional farmland settlements such Pahokee and Okeechobee. High society, of course, favors the affluent island community of Palm Beach, where the median home value is well over one million USD.

Spending time at the Beach?​

Along with other natural areas, Palm Beach includes miles of gorgeous beaches. There are 14 parks with inlets and oceanfronts that have county lifeguards. You may go snorkeling close to the shore, and certain parks have snorkeling spots. In addition, Palm Beach is far enough north from Miami to on occasion get waves large enough for surfing.

Away from the shore, there are a lot of lovely natural sites you can visit, such as the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, Mounts Botanical Garden, and Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. Palm Beach County is a great spot to grow and marvel at the outcomes if you enjoy gardening.

The negative side of nature: Be prepared to share your home with insects, iguanas, and alligators.

Golfers should visit Palm Beach County.

In Palm Beach , where there are many options at different price points for golf enthusiasts and beginners alike, it’s not just presidents who like to play the game. There are 160 golf courses in Palm Beach County, which is why it calls itself Florida’s Golf Capital. The PGA National Resort & Spa, where the PGA Championship is held, has the best course. But there are many additional difficult courses throughout the county, both private and public.

Shopping at secondhand stores is fantastic.

Clearly due to the riches, Palm Beach County is an excellent spot to shop for used items. You may find quality secondhand shops all around the county, but the town of Palm Beach itself boasts a number of thrift or consignment stores that are worth visiting. It’s possible that someone who has more money than you simply gave away the apparel or furniture you’ve always wanted but assumed you couldn’t buy.

There is still a lot of farmland in Palm Beach County.

Palm Beach County is the largest agricultural producer in Florida with more than 14,000 farms raising commercial crops or livestock on more than 500,000 acres. Vegetables, sweet maize, ornamental plants, and sugar cane, the principal crop, are some of the other crops.

Other practical methods for improving your hotel’s room service include:

  • Is the presentation of your room service up to par? Do your dishes look appealing? Is the in-room dining area clean and well-furnished?

  • Do you wait till later to acquire answers? You can use this information to improve the quality of your service.

Go Above and Beyond Room Service

  • Do you ever go above and beyond? If you are aware that your visitors are celebrating an anniversary or a birthday, mark the occasion with a special dessert or flowers.
  • Do you have a competing interest? By reducing your menu, you may provide a higher-quality service while making more money.
  • Perhaps you should simply focus on breakfast?
  • Does your menu and customer service reflect the values of the hotel?
  • Is your hotel’s emphasis on sustainability extended to room service, for example?
  • Check to see whether outsourcing is a better option. It is yet another method for improving room service.

How to Navigate in Marrakech

At the cultural nexus of Africa, Arabia, and Europe, Marrakech is nestled between mountain and desert and continues to be a seductively unique port of call. This centuries-old market town has managed to maintain its unique mystique and timeless beauty despite a rise in popularity. It is a city of incredible beauty, and visitors are still held captive by its magnificent palaces, lively souks, and green palm groves. Unquestionably the most alluring city in Morocco, Marrakech enchants with its vivid hues, strong aromas, and distinctive atmosphere. We’ve listed the top things to do in Marrakech below.

Due to its flat topography, Marrakech is fairly simple to navigate on foot. Instead of wearing heels, be sure to wear a comfortable pair of flat shoes because the paving in the medina is frequently uneven and dangerous.

It can be challenging to find your way around the medina’s winding alleyways. Even if you do have a map, you’ll notice that many of the street signs are in Arabic, which might make navigation even more difficult. Additionally, the street names change from the nameplates.

Keeping your GPS on or asking a local for instructions is the easiest way to avoid this. However, keep in mind that while many locals would offer to show you around the medina, these people typically charge hefty prices.

You can also get around Marrakech by using the reasonably effective public bus system to save some time and effort. Buses are inexpensive but sometimes hot and crowded.

ALSA Marrakech operates all of the city’s public bus services. If you decide to take the bus, you may anticipate that it will typically run every 10 to 60 minutes, depending on the line.

Transportation

The cost of a ticket can be paid in cash to the bus driver and ranges from 2 to 5 MAD (Moroccan dirhams), depending on the distance. More details about the various bus routes and prices are available.

Cycling is a different and entertaining way to get around in Marrakech. Although there are periods when traffic is congested, cycling in Marrakech is generally safe. Medina Bikes, the first bike-sharing program in Africa, was just introduced in Marrakech.

More than 300 bicycles that are available around-the-clock are anchored at ten strategic locations throughout the city. A weekly pass costs 150 MAD, compared to 50 MAD for a day pass.

Although they are undoubtedly the fastest method to get around Marrakech, I wouldn’t typically advocate it. The quickest and easiest way to go from the airport to Marrakech is unquestionably by taxi.

You can call for a cab on the street or from a taxi rank, and they come in a variety of creamy-beige petits taxis (local taxis allowed to carry up to four passengers).

Petit taxis are required to bill you according to a metered rate, but they will never do it. Scams using taxis are fairly common in Marrakech. Therefore, always insist on using the meter or come to an agreement on a price before getting into a taxi.

The majority of trips cost between 10 and 20 MAD, and at night there is a 50% extra. Make sure to write down the name and address of your destination carefully on a piece of paper to prevent miscommunication with the driver or getting duped.

Things to do in Marrakech

Although there are many wonderful things to do in Marrakech, the city itself is the main draw. Marrakech is a fully immersive sensory experience that is instantly engrossing and exciting. There is something to do in Marrakech for everyone, whether your interests are in architecture, museum hopping, dining, shopping, getting your heart pumping, or simply lounging in the gardens. The top things to do and see in Marrakech are listed below (in no particular order).
