How Pricing Works

For temporary stays, pricing depends on several factors:

  1. Length of stay: Longer stays often have lower per-night rates.

  2. Season and demand: Prices fluctuate based on local events, holidays, and peak periods.

  3. Property type: Furnished apartments, serviced units, and standard rentals have different pricing structures.

The price you see when browsing is the rate we will request from the property partner.


What Can Change the Price

Prices may adjust after your initial inquiry for several reasons:

  • You change your requested dates or stay duration.

  • Additional services (additional cleaning, parking, etc.) are added.

Your final price is confirmed only after the property partner reviews your request and confirms availability.


How Availability Is Checked

Many temporary stay properties are listed on multiple platforms.

Availability is checked in real time when you submit a request.

When you express interest in a property, we verify that your preferred option is still available.


Why Options May Disappear

If a property disappears from your matches, it usually means:

  • Another user booked the property before confirmation.

  • The property partner updated their availability.

  • The dates you requested are no longer open.

This is normal for temporary stays, where inventory moves quickly. If your preferred option is unavailable, we will suggest comparable alternatives.


What Is Guaranteed Before Confirmation

Before the property partner confirms your request, you can count on the following:

  • The price shown is the rate we will request.

  • No payment is taken until confirmation.

  • You can withdraw your request at any time.

However, final availability and exact pricing are not guaranteed until confirmation.
