Apartments

Three layouts.
One standard.

Every apartment has a full kitchen, in-unit laundry and a desk you can actually work at.

Studio

Studio apartment with kitchenette, dining table and natural light

$164 / night

Around 480 square feet, laid out as one open room. A full kitchen with a proper stove and dishwasher, a king bed, a desk that is actually big enough to work at, and a washer-dryer in the unit.

Sleeps two. Best for stays of two nights or more, when a hotel room starts to feel small and eating out three times a day stops being a treat.

  • Full kitchen: stove, oven, dishwasher
  • In-unit washer and dryer
  • King bed, blackout blinds
  • Desk, ergonomic chair, 300 Mbps wifi

One bedroom

$208 / night

Around 720 square feet with a bedroom that closes. A living room with a sofa bed, dining for four, and the same full kitchen and laundry as the studio.

Sleeps four. This is the one families take, and the one that makes a week-long work trip feel civilised rather than endured.

  • Separate bedroom with a door
  • Sofa bed sleeps two more
  • Dining table for four
  • Two televisions, two work spots
One bedroom apartment with city view and made bed

Extended stay: seven nights or more

Apartment set up for long stay with desk and plants

from $2,940 / month

Stay seven nights or more and the seventh is free. Stay a month and the rate drops again. Weekly housekeeping, mail and parcel handling, and a named contact at the front desk who knows you.

No lease. No credit check. No utilities to set up or cancel. Relocations, contract work, insurance placements and renovations: the reasons people need a month somewhere are rarely happy ones, and the paperwork should not make it worse.

  • 7th night free, every week
  • Weekly housekeeping and linen
  • Mail and parcel handling
  • Cancel with 7 days notice
