Some advice before committing yourself

As far as the description to be read before making the reservation is concerned, you should know that it must contain: the exact location of the house to be rented (the proximity of tourist points: distances from the beach, shops, ski slopes, etc.), the dates and times of arrival, a detailed description of the interior of the accommodation in question (television, wifi, household appliances, furniture, etc.), the various financial conditions of the rental (payment of a deposit, charges, amount of the rent, payment of a deposit for the reservation, etc.), etc. As a reminder, the deposit is deducted from the rent, if the tenant confirms his choice. Note that this sum is lost if the tenant withdraws at the last moment. On the other hand, with an account, the rental commitment becomes firm and definitive. You should therefore read the contract carefully before signing. This will avoid any unpleasant surprises.
