From getting groceries and online shopping to pizza and bubble tea deliveries, getting things done contactless has become more of a luxury than convenience.<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of our team\u2019s ramped-up efforts to sanitize our apartments more regularly, we\u2019ve employed different technologies and methods to help keep our processes as contact-free as possible; ideal for this pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we will share how easy it is to book your favourite serviced apartment<\/a>; from collecting keys to saying goodbye, with <\/span>no human contact<\/b> at all throughout the entire process!<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, why not choose an aesthetically pleasing apartment that is both ideally located and great for the \u2018gram?<\/i><\/p>\n

Our tech team values the same principle and have made it super easy to check out the shots of all of our apartments – whether you are on your laptop, tablet or phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our team of digital copywriters carefully highlight key features of the different apartments so you don\u2019t have to call or strain your eyes looking for Waldo in our apartment photos (no, there\u2019s no Waldo).\u00a0<\/span>

\n<\/span>Now that you\u2019ve found the perfect apartment, let\u2019s collect those keys.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1588069618608{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n

Traditionally, key collection has always required <\/span>some form <\/span><\/i>of physical contact and interaction. However, to ensure all steps along the way follow our contactless service philosophy, we have adopted alternatives – from putting keys into safe boxes outside homes to smart digital locks. We can even deliver the keys to you!<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only will this result in getting things done more efficiently (as there\u2019s less time required to coordinate meet-ups), we too are playing our part as responsible members of society – reducing the risk of getting infected and\/or transmitting the Covid-19 virus to others amidst this pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that all the paperwork is done and you\u2019re safe within the cozy confines of the apartment with a fully equipped kitchen<\/a>, bedrooms and living rooms, you can finally make yourself feel right at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fret not, our cleaning crew takes hygiene and cleanliness extremely seriously and you can rest assured that our service apartments are thoroughly sanitized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just in case there are any issues during your stay or if you need help on personal matters, the customer service team is always on standby – you guessed it – 100% online. As shared previously, we\u2019re just a phone call away or if you prefer texting (<\/span>who doesn\u2019t!?<\/span><\/i>) with Michelle, our virtual assistant to resolve any issues you may encounter in the apartment.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]

Depending on which apartment you\u2019re currently residing in, it can be as easy as dropping off your keys in safe boxes or letting the digital smart lock do its magic, that\u2019s all you have to do before leaving the apartment!<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve always valued the convenience of getting things done through our handy devices and in the comfort of being indoors. So why not serviced apartments<\/a> as well?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These steps and measures that we\u2019ve coupled with the help of different technologies saves a heap of time and is essential to ensure the health and safety of our guests. So, we look forward to your next stay with us. See you soon, online of course!<\/span><\/p>\n
