# What a London serviced apartment includes

Furniture, a kitchen and housekeeping form the basis of a serviced apartment. The useful detail is in the service schedule: how often someone cleans, where you wash clothes, and who answers when something breaks.

## Three examples from the collection

**[Calico House, 42 Bow Lane](https://londonresidency.com/properties/cheval-calico-house/)**

Kitchens, Wi-Fi, regular housekeeping, washing and drying facilities, utilities and a 24-hour front office. Its usual minimum is three months.

**[Marylebone Mews, 34 Weymouth Mews](https://londonresidency.com/properties/marylebone-mews-apartments/)**

Fitted kitchens, Sonos, housekeeping three times a week, 24-hour guest support and a local gym discount. The homes have one, two or three bedrooms.

**Amberley, Stanhope Gate**

A residence within Mayfair Park Residences, with services from 45 Park Lane and access to pool, gym and spa facilities. Enquiries start at six months.

## A kitchen that fits the stay

A hob and microwave can cover breakfast and simple suppers. Someone cooking every day may also need an oven, dishwasher, freezer space and a dining table. Put those items in the request when they matter; “kitchen” can describe several equipment packages.

For a month with children, laundry deserves its own line. An in-apartment washer-dryer, shared laundry room and paid laundry collection are different arrangements. The apartment description should say which one is supplied.

## Cleaning, linen and consumables

Agree the number of cleans per week and whether linen and towels change at each visit. A departure clean is not the same service as cleaning during the booking. Extra visits, washing-up and replenishment of household supplies may have separate charges.

For remote work, choose a cleaning time that leaves meetings undisturbed. For a family, cot linen and the handling of extra beds should be part of the room set-up.

## Services outside the front door

A gym discount does not mean an on-site gym. A guest helpline does not mean a staffed lobby. Pool access can depend on the building, booked category and guest arrangements. The examples above describe the recorded package for each residence; the booking confirmation settles the package for your apartment.

Read the [price guide](https://londonresidency.com/serviced-apartments-london-cost/) with these services in mind. A cheaper nightly rate can buy a different cleaning schedule or fewer facilities. That is useful information when the total budget matters.
