City visits

Location first, then everything else

A city visit is often a two or three day trip with a purpose: an event, a course, a few days of meetings, or simply a change of scene. What guests want from us is a location that saves time and a home that works the moment they put the bags down.

Our city homes are chosen for what is reachable on foot, and for being quiet enough at night to sleep properly after a long day.

  • Walking distance to shops, transport and restaurants
  • Lift or ground-floor access on selected properties
  • Reliable Wi-Fi and a desk or table for working
  • Kitchen or kitchenette so you are not forced to eat out three times a day
  • Sleeps two, or four where the apartment has a second bedroom

Good to know

What we check before you arrive in a city home

Before we take on a city home we walk the route a guest would take: to the stop, to the nearest shop, to somewhere to eat on the first evening. If that walk is unpleasant, the property does not join the list however good the apartment is.

  • Routes and walking times written into the arrival notes
  • Transport stops and grocery shops named on each city home page
  • Quiet-hours and building rules set out before you book
  • Early check-in possible where the calendar allows

Common questions

About this type of stay

Is the apartment in a residential building?

Yes. Our city apartments sit in ordinary residential buildings, which means guests need to keep to the building’s quiet hours and entrance rules. Those rules are written into the property notes before you book.

Can we leave luggage before check-in?

Often, yes. If the apartment is free from the morning we will usually let you drop bags early. Ask when you book and we will confirm what is possible on your date.

Is parking available in the city?

City centre parking is limited, so we state clearly on each home page whether there is a space, a permit or only paid public parking nearby. Many guests find they do not need a car at all.

How do we get in on arrival?

You receive the full address, entry details and a contact number once the balance is settled, plus a direct number for the day you travel in case anything changes.

Send the home you are interested in together with your arrival and departure dates and we will confirm availability and the rate.
