Then, we would compare this to that of a hotel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">In Lagos serviced apartments and short-<\/span>lets<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"> are available in the following places;\u00a0service apartments in Ikeja,\u00a0serviced apartments in Lekki;\u00a0short let apartments in Ikoyi Lagos, short let apartments in Lekki, serviced apartments in Yaba, short let apartments in victoria island, and short let apartments in Ikeja.

So you save more and you enjoy the same benefits by getting a serviced apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">You get the Welcome home Feel<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">A serviced Apartment is like a home outside your home. You have access to the kitchen and so many other facilities. Sometimes, the compound belongs to only you or you and your family if you travel with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">You Cook or Pay Less for Food<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Buying food in a hotel can cost a fortune, So cut this cost by getting a serviced apartment. If you are with your family mummy can cook.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">It is in a Residential Area<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">You may not have access to the bubbling music of the nearby club.

Hotels usually serve as landmarks and they are <\/span>recognised<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">. So this helps locate them easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">There might be a shortage of Staff<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Hotels provide you with more staff than a serviced apartment.
