Short-Term Stay, Long-Term Memories: All About Short-Term Furnished Apartments

When you travel for work, treatments, or even vacation, where you choose to stay has a huge impact on your trip. Staying somewhere where you feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed can make a tedious trip one you will remember fondly for a lifetime.

See why short-term furnished apartments are the best option for travelers and how to optimize a short-term apartment stay.

Creating a Home Away from Home

Perhaps the most difficult part of long trips is homesickness or the longing for a space where you can truly relax. When you stay at a furnished apartment for a month or more, you can make it your own.

  • Rearrange: In a furnished apartment, you don’t have bolted-down furniture like in a hotel. Instead, you can make the apartment feel like home by moving furniture around to fit your needs. Move the desk to a spot with a better view, or adjust the couch so it’s more comfortable to watch your favorite show.
  • Bring pieces of home: Make the space feel even more cozy by bringing some of your favorite trinkets from home. Add your own throw pillow, flowers, or small decor pieces, and make it your own.
  • Maintain normal daily routines: Being far from home doesn’t mean your normal routine should be disrupted. Thanks to spacious apartments with all the amenities, you can cook dinner, exercise, and relax like you normally would.

Building Long-Term Memories in a Temporary Space

Even though guests only stay in furnished apartments for months, it doesn’t mean they won’t make memories that will last a lifetime. Some of our most memorable moments happen when we’re far away. New environments are an opportunity to explore, find favorite spots, and make new friends. 

When you travel, you also get the opportunity to indulge in local culture. You may stumble upon a festival celebrating a nationality or regional cuisine. You could explore a new neighborhood and feel just like a local, thanks to your apartment deep in the city.

The Social and Emotional Impact of Short-Term Stays

The social impact of staying in a furnished apartment is all thanks to the many common areas guests enjoy. In the lobby, business center, fitness center, or other spaces, you can meet people staying in a short-term apartment. Thanks to a spacious apartment, you can easily invite new friends over for dinner parties or game nights. Meeting others in similar situations can give you people to relate to. This could lead to friendships dispelling feelings of loneliness often accompanying solo travel.

A centrally located apartment will also allow you to interact with locals and become part of the community.

On the emotional side, when you stay in a furnished apartment that feels like home, you’re less likely to experience homesickness. You can relax and unwind while you feel safe. This will also contribute to lower levels of stress.
