Expectations During A Corporate Housing Stay

What To Expect During Your Stay In Corporate Housing

Many people leasing a furnished corporate apartment, townhouse, or condo for the first time are uncertain, and even anxious, regarding what their experience will be like. Most have stayed in hotels, and have formed expectations based on those experiences. They are familiar with the space available in a hotel room, the amenities provided to them, and the general atmosphere. But for most, staying in a corporate apartment remains a mystery; few people even realize the option is open to them at a price that is comparable to – and often lower than – a hotel room.

This article will describe the experience you can expect to have during your stay in a fully furnished living space. Whether you plan to stay for a few weeks or a few months, you may discover it is superior in many ways to renting a hotel room.

A Fully-Equipped Kitchen

Suppose you enjoy preparing meals at home. This might entail using fresh ingredients, cooking them on the stove, and making use of an oven. On the other hand, you may like to microwave frozen meals to save time. Your kitchen will come fully appointed with a refrigerator, microwave, stove, and oven. You’ll also have a sink in which to wash ingredients. These features are rarely, if ever, available in a conventional hotel room.

You’ll also have full access to a toaster, coffee maker, cutting board, can opener, and nearly anything else you need to prepare your meals. And if you intend to do little more than microwave items, you’ll have a freezer in which to store them beforehand.

Being Able To Relax With Peace Of Mind

Imagine this scenario: you return to your hotel room late at night, after a long day working at the office, sightseeing, or taking care of errands. You have a single goal in mind: to relax. You stumble into your hotel room, and head for the couch. The problem is, your room lacks a couch. So, you sit on the bed and lie back, wishing it were softer. Meanwhile, you can hear the people in the adjacent room arguing through the walls. You pull your favorite CD out of your luggage to drown out the noise only to remember there is no DVD player in your room.

This describes the experience many people have while staying in a hotel. Corporate housing offers a far different experience. Your furnished condo or apartment is likely to have a couch and chairs. Your bed will have a high-quality mattress covered by soft sheets, pillows, a blanket, and comforter. Your living space will also have a DVD player along with cable television and high-speed internet access. And because most corporate housing properties are located in residential areas, there is likely to be far less noise. In short, you’ll be able to relax.

Doing Laundry With A Private Washer And Dryer

During extended periods spent away from home, you need to have a way to do your laundry. If you rent a hotel room, you’ll be forced to find a public laundromat. Not only are most closed during late evenings, but depending on your location, using them may be an unappealing option.

When you lease a furnished corporate apartment, you’ll have access to a private washer and dryer. You’ll be able to avoid visiting a public laundromat, and instead do your laundry in the privacy of your living quarters whenever it is convenient for you.

Maintaining A Clean Environment

Your furnished condo is your personal living space, which means you can maintain its cleanliness in any way that suits your lifestyle (within reason). You’ll have full access to cleaning supplies, such as a vacuum cleaner, mop, and broom. Using them periodically to keep your place clean will help to keep ants and other bugs at bay.

If you prefer, you can also add housekeeping services to your leasing package. Someone will visit your condo or townhouse on a schedule that accommodates your needs. Many people who stay in temporary housing, particularly those who entertain guests, enjoy having this option available to them.

Feeling At Home With The Comforts Of Home

Suppose you enjoy hiking, swimming, or visiting the gym each day. When you stay in a hotel, you may be forced to abandon these habits, at least until you return to your permanent home. Although some hotels offer a small gym and pool, they are a rarity.

By contrast, many furnished apartments offer easy access to hiking and biking trails and a community pool. Sometimes, these amenities are mere steps away from your living space.

The purpose of a corporate apartment or condo is to make you feel as if you’re relaxing at home. The purpose of most hotel rooms is to provide a place for you to sleep and shower. Given that, you’ll find the differences between them to be substantial.
