What is a serviced apartment? 


Offering a perfect balance of privacy and luxury services, a serviced apartment in Ponce combines hotel features with private rental space and quality. As more and more businesses get wise to the advantages booking serviced apartments with SilverDoor offers above a hotel booking (or booking through a different provider), the number of corporate clients who embrace corporate accommodation increases. Just some of these clear cut benefits are: 

Additional privacy and flexibility. Within a serviced apartment, there is a sense of privacy which a busy and cramped hotel cannot match. Truly set apart from other residents and usually located within quiet apartment buildings catering to professionals, these apartments are not only spacious and peaceful, but also provide multiple living spaces which allows for greater flexibility on your trip. The choice to cook, eat, relax, entertain or work within your own corporate housing (comfortably) can make a business trip much more productive and enjoyable. 
Excellent value. As well as being comparatively much more affordable than hotels (offering like for like space and features), serviced apartments also offer the added benefit of a tax reduction after a certain duration threshold is reached – meaning long stays in these apartments is even better value for money. This is especially beneficial for colleagues relocating to new cities and in need of long term temporary accommodation whilst awaiting a permanent residence. 
Additional services. The majority of serviced apartments come with multiple included services and amenities (on-site) for your convenience, including: swimming pools, gymnasiums, conference rooms, restaurants, housekeeping, parking and many more. These features are optional, but are there to make your experience more comfortable should you wish to utilise them.
