I only discovered the idea a couple of years ago when I was looking for somewhere to stay when I took my mum to see a concert.
...... living in the Isle of Man, you have to go off the Island to have the chance to see any big artists.....
For a short stay, these are great. A couple of bedrooms, separate living room, dining area, kitchen..... as described, a fully functioning (and very nicely done up) apartment; a little home away from home. Again, for our extended stay, the issue of price is going to mean we won't be considering serviced apartments.
You can find serviced apartments in Amsterdam from around €180 per night upwards, which is great for a few days with a handful of people.
I found them to be a great option for our Beyonce and Black Eyed Peas weekends.... but sure, they weren't cheap weekends. There was enough room and comfort to be content lazing around the apartment all day; and we bought all of our food from Marks and Spencer so were able to save a bit of money cooking in instead of eating out............although I don't think we ended up saving that much, given I bought enough for a family of fifteen.
These places will usually have at least a part time reception service; they are always on-line and on the phone 24 hours to help with any questions or problems. The ones I stayed in also organized airport transfers, tours and theater trips and generally had lots of tourist information.
If you click on the post title, it will link you to an example of one of these websites, but there are dozens to choose from and usually several in each city in Europe.
Again, for visiting family, great; for us, too expensive.
