Serviced Apartment During Medical Treatment & Recovery
Tenant’s Background
The tenant, michelle, travelled to Hong Kong for a scheduled medical procedure and required a quiet and comfortable place to recover afterward with the requirements below:
Stay duration: 1–2 months
Budget range: HKD 30,000–37,000 per month
Location preference: Close to major hospitals (Hong Kong Island preferred and ideally HKSH)
Occupancy: 1 patient + accompanying family member
Hotels can be:
too transient
too small for medical recovery
inconvenient for preparing simple healthy meals
A traditional apartment wasn’t practical due to:
minimum lease term of 1 year
finding a furnished apartment that fit into Michelle’s need can be tough
lack of flexibility around recovery timing
A serviced apartment became the optimum solution i.e. a combination of comfort, convenience and flexibility.
Major Concerns for Michelle’s Temporary Accomodation
Before enquiring, Michelle had concerns about:
distance to hospital from the serviced apartment and follow-up appointments
ease of access (lifts, taxis, barrier-free routes)
hygiene standards
noise levels
flexible lease dates in case treatment changed
They also preferred separate living and sleeping space so the caregiver could rest properly too.
