Why flexible stay accommodation is the best for students living in London

Moving to a new city for university can be both exciting and daunting, especially when that city is as dynamic and sprawling as London. One of the most critical decisions international students face is finding the right accommodation. Traditional long-term leases might seem like the default option, but flexible stay accommodations are increasingly becoming the preferred choice. Here’s why flexible stay accommodations are the best option for international students (and workers) living in London.

Lease flexibility

Flexibility is key for students. Traditional private rental agreements typically require a long-term commitment of a year. At The Quarters by Bravo, we understand that student life is often unpredictable. Whether you’re planning to be in London for just a semester, a summer internship, or an entire academic year at The Quarters, you are guaranteed to find a lease term that works best for you and your lifestyle. This flexibility is especially valuable for students and transient workers (for example, if you are in town for a corporate assignment or project) with uncertain plans. From three to six months stay with the option to renew, let us remove some of the stress.

Convenience and ease

Flexible stay accommodation is all about convenience. Many flexible accommodation options will come fully furnished and equipped with essential amenities, eliminating the hassle of purchasing and transporting furniture you may not need in a few months. Just pack your suitcase and join us! At The Quarters, we even offer linen service upon request, so even your bed linens and towels can be taken care of for you. Additionally, with fixed bills and Wi-Fi, you will not have to go through the lengthy process and hassle of contacting local utility companies. We’ve got you covered.

More affordable than hotels

We know that London is famous (or perhaps infamous…) for its high cost of living. Did you know that flexible stay accommodations can help you save money? Flexible accommodation providers like The Quarters by Bravo offer fixed utilities, internet, cleaning services, in-building amenities, and more, eliminating the need for expensive outside contractors. This setup often turns out to be more affordable than paying for everything separately. Plus, with the option to pick shorter lease terms, you won’t get stuck in an expensive long-term contract if your plans change and you need to leave London sooner than expected. More affordable than a hotel, guaranteed

Prime locations

Another advantage of flexible stay accommodation is that these buildings are typically located in prime areas, close to major universities, public transport, vibrant neighbourhood life, and more. Living in these areas cuts down on commute times and puts students right in the middle of London’s cultural and social life. Being close to amenities like supermarkets, gyms, and green spaces is the cherry on top. At The Quarters by Bravo, you have the option to experience London living in Swiss Cottage, Kilburn, Croydon, or Watford–all well-connected and well-served areas. Central London is reachable from any of our locations in under thirty minutes.

Safety and support

Safety is a top priority for students living away from home and their families. For many, living in London may be their first experience in a big city and might feel intimidating. Flexible stay accommodations usually come with enhanced security features. Many also offer support services like maintenance and emergency assistance, ensuring students feel safe and well-supported during their stay. Our buildings are equipped with 24/7 video surveillance, secure access key cards, and on-site staff. At The Quarters Swiss Cottage, we have 24/7 reception services.

Choosing the right accommodation provider can be daunting for international students or anyone new to London. Traditional leases and private accommodation options may not be the best choice for you. Flexible stay accommodations offer students in London the perfect blend of flexible lease terms, cost-effectiveness, prime locations, and enhanced safety. At The Quarters by Bravo, we’re confident we can provide you with the best solution for your ever-changing lifestyle. We’ll leave you to enjoy the city and focus on your studies, and we will take care of the rest.
