When your home becomes temporarily uninhabitable due to a fire, flood, escape of water or major repairs, finding somewhere comfortable to stay can quickly become a priority. Portfolio Serviced Apartments provides fully equipped temporary accommodation in Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City and St Albans, offering families and individuals a practical alternative to an extended hotel stay.
A Home Away From Home When You Need It Most
Being displaced from your home can last anything from a few weeks to several months. While hotels can work for short stays, they aren't always practical when you need somewhere to live for an extended period.
Our serviced apartments provide the space and facilities of a home, including separate living and sleeping areas, fully equipped kitchens, Wi-Fi and regular housekeeping. Whether accommodation is required while repairs are completed following a flood, fire or other insured event, Portfolio can provide a comfortable base for as long as it's needed.

Temporary Accommodation in Stevenage

Temporary Accommodation in Welwyn Garden City
For clients requiring accommodation in Welwyn Garden City, our serviced apartments offer the flexibility and independence needed for longer temporary stays. Guests can cook, relax and maintain a normal daily routine while repairs or insurance works are completed at home.
Temporary Accommodation in St Albans
Our St Albans serviced apartments offer an alternative to extended hotel accommodation for families, couples and individuals needing a temporary place to live in the area. The apartments provide the space and facilities required for longer stays while allowing guests to remain within St Albans and close to their usual work, schools and support networks.
Why Choose a Serviced Apartment Instead of a Hotel?
For a night or two, a hotel can be convenient. When a temporary stay stretches into weeks or months, having your own living space can make a significant difference.
A serviced apartment gives guests the freedom to prepare their own meals, relax away from the bedroom and maintain a more normal daily routine. For families in particular, this can provide a much more practical solution while waiting to return home.
Flexible Accommodation for Longer Stays
Repair schedules don't always go according to plan. That's why flexibility is important when arranging insurance accommodation. Subject to availability, stays can be extended if building or repair works take longer than originally expected. If you don't yet know exactly how long accommodation will be required, speak to our team and we'll discuss the available options.
