Frequently Asked Questions

What is included?

All serviced apartments include maid service, reception / concierge services, all utility costs, i.e. electricity, heating and water charges (excluding guests telephone usage), cleaning charges, television licences and local government taxes (these are different from VAT). You do not need to pay any departure charges and most importantly, we do not charge you a booking or administration charge.

What are private short let apartments?

Private short let apartments are privately owned, managed and fully furnished apartments in residential blocks that let you live just like a local! They often cost less than serviced apartments, and have a minimum stay of one month. They generally include access to a gym, swimming pool, concierge and parking but do check the apartment's page for details.

What is the difference between a studio apartment and a one, two, three of four bedroom serviced apartment?

A studio apartment is similar to a hotel room in that it has a large bedroom area, which is your main living space. The bed itself is often a fold way / sofa-bed, although some apartments have proper full size beds. Within the room will often include a small dinning table or workspace, a television, music system, and seating. The apartment will also have a compact kitchenette and bathroom. The kitchenette will usually include a cooker, microwave, fridge and food preparation area. The bathroom will usually have a toilet, wash basin, bathtub and integral shower.

1, 2, 3 & 4 bedroom apartments differ from a studio apartment in that the apartment has a separate living room. Each bedroom is separate (sometimes they may have interconnecting doors) and has either a standard size double bed, although many apartments have queen and king size beds.

In 2, 3 & 4 bedroom apartments, often the second or third bedrooms will have two single beds. Some apartments have bunk beds in the second bedrooms. The living rooms often have dining tables and chairs and many living rooms have a sofa bed for additional guests. Living rooms have TVs, music systems (in most properties).

The kitchens are usually fully equipped with full size cookers, microwaves, fridge / freezers and food preparation area. Bathrooms will have a toilet, wash basin, bathtub and integral shower. In 2, 3 & 4 bedroom apartments, the apartment may have 2, 3 or 4 bathrooms.
