There’s a lot out there - big hotels where you pay for things you don’t need, shared bathroom setups that work fine until they don’t, and Airbnbs that look great in photos but turn out to be someone’s spare room with a curtain for a door.

At Pocket Apartments, we do something a little different. Our studios are small -intentionally so, but every single one has its own private ensuite bathroom, and most come with a kitchenette too. Your own space, entirely to yourself.
