Now that working from home over the internet is so easy, more and more people are becoming digital nomads, and it isn’t hard to see why. You get to work as normal while staying in different places across the globe. It’s the kind of flexibility most people never thought they’d be able to enjoy.
One of the most important things digital nomads need to do is find the right accommodation, and here are just four reasons why serviced apartments make the best choice.
- Halfway Between Home and Hotel
Digital nomads tend to stay in one location for a few weeks or months. Spending that amount of time living out of a hotel room isn’t so great because they generally only contain a couple of beds. At the same time, you need to take more responsibility for the place if you rent direct from the owner. Serviced apartments provide all the comfort of home you won’t get from a hotel as well as the convenience you won’t get anywhere else.
- The Work-Friendly Amenities You Need
Digital nomads also need to know they’ll be able to work. Too many hotels make you pay for internet that turns out to be slower than it should be since so many people are sharing the same network. Many boutique hotels and B&Bs won’t come with Wi-Fi at all. When you book a serviced apartment, count on finding strong Wi-Fi and a laptop-friendly workspace.
- Fully Fitted Kitchen
Serviced apartments come with fully fitted kitchens, and that’s a real boon for the digital nomad. Even relying on restaurants and room service for a week or two can put a real dint in your finances, and it’s much nicer having the freedom to cook up your own favourites.
- Savings
Some people think that serviced apartments are too expensive. While they can cost more than a hotel room, keep in mind that you can usually enjoy significant savings if you’re staying longer than a couple of weeks. Digital nomads are particularly well-placed to take advantage of long-term deals, especially when they visit outside the busiest tourist seasons.
