Finding a Serviced Apartment Location
Serviced Apartments are types of furnished temporary housing that generally fall into two categories. The first category is Extended Stay Hotels; these typically offer a 24 hour reception desk and are furnished hotel rooms with small kitchenettes. While the second category of serviced apartments is what is called Corporate Housing. Typically corporate housing is for stays of 30 days or more and are often in furnished apartments and include cleaning services, utilities, and local taxes. Extended Stay Hotels often offer cheaper rates than traditional hotels because rates can be grouped into weekly or monthly segments.
