Serviced apartments work more like hotels than private rentals in terms of duty of care, cleanliness, customer service and emergency assistance. They are not managed by private owners or landlords but instead professionally cleaned and mantained by global or local hospitality companies.
Serviced apartments can be booked for short term stays from 3 nights to 3 months or for extended stays up to a year or longer.
They are best suited for stays of 7 nights or more because of their all-inclusive pricing and flexible booking terms that come without any lengthy contract commitments.
- Short-Term Stays 3-28 Nights: Ideal for business trips, weekend visits, or temporary relocation.
- Mid-Term Stays 28-90 Nights : Perfect for corporate projects, internships, or home renovations.
- Long-Term Stays 90+ Nights : A cost-effective solution for extended work assignments or relocations.
