For your convenience the apartments have a separate storage/washing room with a washing machine and dryer. Washing machine tablets are provided with the welcome amenities. These tablets are not refilled during the weekly cleaning.

At Corporate Housing Factory we provide cleaning services on a weekly basis. Your designated cleaning day can be found on the welcome letter you received. Weekly cleaning is provided on Monday – Friday. 

We do a general cleaning of your apartment and refresh the linens/towels. If you would like to know what we expect from you, please check the section ‘tenants responsibilities'.

The garbage containers are located in the loading dock on the ground floor (in the South tower).

We separate glass, paper and cardboard as these will be recycled. Garbage disposal is the tenants responsibility during their stay including departure. 

Please help us by recycling as much as possible to keep our environment green and safe!

We offer luggage storage before arrival and after departure. Please contact us 24 hours prior to the arrival or departure date and we will be happy to store the luggage during our opening hours.

Your hairdryer can be found in the wardrobe of your apartment!

FUNCTIONS

The Functions menu has multiple items, but the bottom row contains the controls you'll need:

• Lights - Bottom left icon
  Tap this to adjust the lighting. You can control each room individually, adjusting both brightness (dimming) and on/off settings. Note that if a lamp is turned off at the main wall switch, it cannot be controlled through the panel.
•  Blinds - Bottom middle icon
  Most apartments have electronic blinds that can be controlled via this panel. First, select the room you want to adjust, then hold the "On" button for a few seconds to open the blinds, or press the "Off" button to close them.
•  Climate - Bottom right icon
  Use this to adjust the temperature in the apartment through heating or cooling functions:
• To heat up the apartment, turn on the heating function on this panel and adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature.
• To cool down the apartment, turn on the cooling function on this panel and adjust the thermostat. Note that the cooling function is not air conditioning; it helps maintain a cooler temperature only if the apartment is already cool.
• The Climate Off function will turn off both heating and cooling.
