Your questions, answered

Can I book a shortlet in Lagos for a few weeks while I look for a long-term apartment?

Yes — many hosts on Dwelns allow multi-week or monthly bookings, which suits using a shortlet as a bridge before signing a long-term lease.

Which Lagos neighborhoods should I consider for a temporary stay?

It depends on where you'll be working or schooling — search by area within Lagos and compare listings, keeping commute distance in mind since Lagos traffic varies significantly by route.

Is it cheaper to book monthly than night-by-night?

Some hosts offer better rates for longer stays — check each listing's pricing details, since this varies host to host rather than being a platform-wide discount.

Do I need to have moved all my belongings before booking a shortlet?

No — a shortlet works well as a short-term base with minimal belongings while you're still settling in, separate from your eventual long-term move.
