Here’s some help with finding the perfect serviced apartment in Singapore for you. If you’re here for business, serviced apartments can give you more room than you might have at a hotel. As a newly arrived expat, short-term accommodation is helpful while you’re house hunting – plus, you can always extend. It’s better not to sign that rental lease until you’re happy with your choice! We’ve rounded up a couple of short-term accommodation options (longer if needed) for all types of expats, from solo businessmen to families arriving with heaps of bags, kids and pets! Here goes!
