You’ve picked an apartment, set your move-in date, and are mentally preparing to acclimate yourself to a new city. Now you have to pack. What do you even bring? You know your stay isn't going to be like a hotel,but what exactly comes in a fully furnished apartment? Some of our clients who are unfamiliar with corporate housing don't realize how much is provided for their temporary stay! Now, let's take a look and see what you need to bring and what can stay at home...
