We stayed here for almost a month with our 6 month old baby while relocating from Oxford to Bournemouth, and we honestly had such a lovely stay. The property was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed, especially for a longer stay with a little one. It really felt like a home away from home during what could otherwise have been quite a stressful time for us. It also gave us the perfect base to explore Bournemouth and the surrounding areas and get to know our new home before settling in permanently. Jack and the FlexiStays team were absolutely lovely throughout our stay. They were friendly, helpful and always easy to communicate with, which we really appreciated. We have some very happy memories from our first month in Bournemouth here and would definitely recommend the property to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. Thank you Jack and the FlexiStays team for making the start of our new chapter in Bournemouth such a pleasant one! ❤️

6 reviews mention a longer stay
Filter and sortNatali, who worked in the office, was so helpful, and quickly and thoroughly responded to all of our questions and requests. We were there for a month and they provided a mid-stay cleaning, which was unexpected and much appreciated. The location was great for us - just a quick walk to the beach, the bus stop, a small grocery store, and lots of restaurants, and we could easily walk to the city center which had a great open pedestrian space, stores, and restaurants. We were underwhelmed by the gym, which was very small, but nice to have, even so. We would stay there again.
Great accommodation and location

We needed a place to stay while waiting on our house purchase
We needed a place to stay while waiting on the final stage of our house purchase. Flexiestays was a brilliant option for us. 3 months at a very decent price, free off road parking, great location in the centre of town without feeling loud and we never had an issue with other guests. The team were always happy to help and the facilities were decent. We look back on our time with Flexiestays fondly.

Highly recommend, great location, rooms and people
We stayed at Flexiestays over the course of about 5 winter months. It has been an amazing experience. The rooms are nice, newly renovated, and have pretty much everything you need, and the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Overall communication was good, usually pretty quick responses, and they were very willing provide if we needed something. It was nice to have access to a gym in the building nearby, and the beautiful location with literally a 1-minute walk to an stunning sea-view was unparalleled. Thank you Flexiestays for this huge blessing!

Lovely and cosy apartment in the centre
Lovely and cosy apartment in the centre of Bournemouth, and managing to still be quiet. Close to the train station (and buses), big Asda superstore, town centre, park and the beach. I have stayed so far in 2 different apartments in the same building on 2 separate occasions. Both, lovely decorated, with everything one may need for a short or longer stay. A kind of apartment you just want to stay in the whole day! I would definitely recommend.

Questions about long stays
Answers from the Flexiestays help centre.
What counts as a long stay?
A stay of 28 nights or more. At that length the booking switches automatically to the monthly rate, which puts every bill into one figure. What counts as a long stay.
How is a long stay different from renting?
It is a serviced let, not a tenancy: no agency fees, no guarantor, a furnished and equipped apartment, and no fixed term beyond the first month, so you can extend or shorten with notice. Long stays.
Can my company book and pay for the stay?
Yes. Companies can book on behalf of staff and set up a corporate account with one consolidated VAT invoice a month, and contractors booking their own stay can ask for a VAT invoice. Corporate and contractor stays.
