Book for the process, not the flight
Lease approval depends on viewings, references and sometimes a local bank account. Book enough nights to survive one rejected application. Moving between short lets costs more than extending one stay.
Frequently asked questions
Hotel or serviced apartment?
For more than two weeks, a serviced apartment with a kitchen often wins once meals are counted.
Is the deposit refundable?
Sometimes. Check the cancellation and damage terms before paying.
