Lisbon is an international trade and tourist center. Both individuals and corporate officials visit the city either for business or entertainment. Whatever your purpose to visit Lisbon, it is always better to stay in self-serviced apartments rather than a hotel. There are several benefits of staying in self-serviced apartments.
Pictures of the apartment
You know before hand what type of apartment or accommodation you are going to stay in. Each self-serviced apartment owner displays the pictures of the apartment on the Internet. You can see the picture and get an idea of the size, the furnishings, the décor and the rent of the apartment before selecting it. You cannot get that kind of detailed information about the individual rooms of a hotel.
Hassle free renting
Renting a self-serviced apartment in Lisbon or anywhere else is more hassle free than in case of a hotel. You can directly communicate with the owner of the apartment and bargain for the rent and other facilities in case you want to stay longer.
Choice of location
Self-serviced apartments are available all over Lisbon and you can get an apartment closer—sometimes walking distance away - to the area of work, office, company or entertainment center. In case you stay in a hotel, it may be far away from the place of your work and you may have to pay costly taxi fare. You save on time and money by staying in a self-serviced apartment.
Rental Savings
Self-serviced apartments are also called aparthotels, that is to say, they have all the facilities of a hotel, but their rents are approximately 25% cheaper than them. Moreover, as the name implies, you do your own service, which results in a huge additional savings something which is not possible if you stay in a hotel. You have to pay for the waiter or maid services in addition to heavy tips to the service staff in the hotels. In a self-serviced apartment, you can hire the services of a housekeeping staff or do the chores yourself.
Food of your choice
Quite often you cannot get the type and quality of the food for your individual taste and health needs. You have to accept the stock food that is served to other customers. The hotel charges you not only the cost of the food, but also for its preparation. You can save almost 50% on your self-prepared food if you stay in a self-serviced apartment.
Eat whenever you like
Hotels have fixed timings for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Either you have to adjust to their schedule, go without food, or venture out to find something suitable. Self-serviced apartments offer great flexibility in this respect.
Best hotel facilities at lower costs
Most self-serviced apartments in Lisbon are equipped with the facilities that starred hotels offer such as swimming pool, gymnasium, health clubs for your fitness requirements and even bars for your pleasure.
No hassles of rented accommodation
If you rent an apartment, you may have to commit yourself to an agreement for staying not less than six months. You have also to engage an attorney and pay for his services as well. In case of self-serviced apartments, you can stay as long or as short as you like without entering into such agreements.
More facilities than in a hotel
The best part of the renting self-serviced apartments is that you get more facilities in them than in a hotel. For example, you get an extra living space, lawns, bathrooms and of course, well-equipped kitchens. You can stay alone or with your family or friends in a very informal way without the constraints of a hotel. A self-serviced apartment is a home away from your own home with all the basic facilities that you have in your own home.
Isolated and secluded living
If you like an isolated stay in Lisbon, there can be no better place than self-serviced apartments. You can enjoy the pleasure of living in absolute isolation and serenity, away from the crowds.
