Daytime visitors are welcome, but overnight guests must be registered in advance and included within the apartment's maximum occupancy to comply with municipal regulations.

Booking & Reservations

You can book directly through our website using the availability calendar, contact us via email at info@stayci.com, or call our booking team.

Reservations include automatic email confirmations with booking reference numbers, and our team reviews each booking within 4 hours to ensure accuracy. For same-day bookings or urgent requests, call us directly for immediate assistance.

Our minimum stay requirement is typically 2 nights for most apartments. However, this may vary depending on the season and specific apartment. For extended stays of 30 days or more, we offer special monthly rates with additional discounts. Minimum stay requirements may be waived for last-minute bookings or during low-season periods. Holiday periods (Christmas, New Year, summer peak) typically require longer minimum stays of 3-7 nights. Contact us directly if you need a shorter stay—we may be able to accommodate based on current availability.

Yes, modifications and cancellations are possible depending on your booking terms. Standard cancellations made 7 days before arrival receive a full refund. Cancellations within 7 days may incur a fee. Please review your specific booking confirmation for detailed cancellation terms. Modification requests should be made in writing via email to reservations@stayci.com with your booking reference number. We will process requests within 24 hours and send updated confirmation documents.

Date changes are free when requested more than seven days before arrival.
