1. Select your stay dates and choose your apartment: Enter your exact check-in and check-out dates in the search bar. Our apartments are available exclusively for temporary rentals, with a minimum stay of 32 days and a maximum of 11 months.
You can make a pre-reservation directly on our website by paying the specified amount. Once the pre-reservation is completed, you will need to submit the required documentation for approval, as outlined in our Temporary Rental Terms and Conditions. The review process for your documentation may take between 3 and 5 business days, especially if a weekend is involved. If your request is denied, we will refund the full amount.
Important: These are temporary rentals with defined start and end dates and cannot be extended beyond 11 months.
2. Request more information or schedule a visit: If you need additional details before booking, you can use the contact form on the apartment page. Alternatively, send us the reference number of the apartment you’re interested in, along with the reason for your request. We will provide you with information regarding the temporary rental conditions and confirm availability.
3. Required documentation to confirm your temporary stay.
