Free Apartment Finder Services Make Finding Your Next Apartment Easy

London - 27th September, 2005 - You've seen the advertisements on apartment finder services or apartment locators, the specialist accommodation bookers for the serviced apartment market. You might think that it all sounds very expensive, whereas in fact, it is quite the opposite. The Apartment Service, based in London, England, specializes in booking serviced apartments, corporate and interim housing for corporate and leisure clients worldwide, for periods from a day, week or month through to a year or longer.
