Quite simply apartments offer something more than a traditional hotel.

And no more so than when you want value for money; no mini-bars, no tipping and no meaningless expenses that you don't need and don't want. 

Also, with most providers, you pay for the apartment, not the number of people that share the space, that way, your budget can be stretched even further. If you are travelling with a family, or a colleague, then why not stay in a two bedroom apartment and save money instead of two separate rooms?

You get freedom
Freedom to come and go, eat what and when you want, if you want a little lie-in; you won't be disturbed. If you want to cook for yourself, then do, and stick to your diet, or if you are in a rush, iron your own shirt; don't need to wait the eight hours for the service in a hotel. In an apartment, you can do exactly what suits you.

You get privacy
If you are a single traveller then why not have a drink, or dinner by yourself, in your own apartment without feeling self-conscious in the hotel bar or restaurant. Eat on your own, relax and put your feet up.

You get to feel like a local
Become part of the neighbourhood and enjoy your time in an apartment. Go shopping for dinner at a local market, chat on the street and don't feel as if you're just another tourist.
