For too long hotels have had it their own way, charging high prices for rooms not much bigger than a shoebox. If you are hungry you are forced to either eat in their overpriced hotel restaurants or venture into the city and try your luck at the local fare. Having your clothes ironed normally incurs a hefty charge too. Watching television normally entails lying on bed propped up by pillows so you can see the TV set.
Now there is an alternative. Spacious apartments, with all appliances you normally have at home such as TV, stereo, ironing boards, and fitted, functional kitchens where you can cook your own food. All apartments are fitted with a sofa so watching television is a civilized affair. There's no reason why you should cook for yourself if you choose not to: you are normally located in the most restaurant intensive areas in town: often in an environmentally protected area where no hotels can be found.
