Philosophy & Methodology

We are extremely diligent when it comes to cleaning. We have standardized cleaning procedures and due to COVID-19 we have taken all the extra steps to ensure maximum hygiene.

You can get aquainted with our standards below and as of the first of June all of our apartments are sprayed with Liquid Guard. Liquid Guard  is an innovative Nano Technology and provides a shielding coat on surfaces. Learn more about them on their website.
