Serviced apartments for weekly and monthly stays, explained

For a stay of a few weeks or a few months, a serviced apartment gives you a home of your own without the setting up. Here's what that means in practice.

What a serviced apartment is

A fully furnished apartment, ready to live in from the day you arrive, booked for as long as you need it — by the week or by the month — and looked after by a team. You have your own front door, a living room and a kitchen, and the bills, the Wi-Fi and housekeeping are taken care of.

What's included in every residence

  • Fully furnished: Every room furnished and styled, from the sofa to the linen.
  • Fully equipped kitchen: Integrated appliances and everything you need to cook.
  • Fast Wi-Fi: Fast Wi-Fi throughout, for streaming, calls and work.
  • Bills included: One price for your stay, with the bills included.
  • Housekeeping services: Housekeeping for your residence during your stay.
  • 24/7 front desk: Someone on hand, day and night.
  • Weekly & monthly stays: Stay by the week or by the month, at our best available rate.
  • Families welcome: Up to three bedrooms, and residences side by side.

Compared with renting

Renting a flat usually means committing for six or twelve months, paying a deposit, furnishing it and setting up energy and broadband yourself. A serviced apartment is ready on the day you arrive and runs for the length you choose.

That suits a gap between homes, a contract of a few months, a renovation, or a first month in a new city before you decide where to live.

Compared with a hotel

A hotel room works for a few nights. For a few weeks, most people want room to spread out, a kitchen to cook in and a table to work at — somewhere that feels like home rather than a room. A residence gives you that, with our team on hand day and night.

Who stays with us

Families relocating or between homes, professionals on a contract or a project, teams who'd rather share a building than a hotel corridor, and anyone who wants a month in a new city to feel like living there.

How booking works

Choose your city, your dates and how many of you there are, then a building and your residences, and book online at our best available rate. Longer stays come at discounted rates. For a company booking or a larger group, our team will put together a quote.
