Open the property search →A shortlet is a different product from a tenancy: furnished, let by the night, with utilities included in the rate. Compare shortlets against each other per night, never against an annual rent — and read the minimum-night rule before you plan a one-night stay.
In Nigeria, power and water are the questions that decide whether a stay is good. Ask what the backup arrangement is, whether fuel is the host's responsibility, and whether there is water storage and a working pump. Hosts who answer those clearly are the hosts worth booking.
Check the total, not the headline. Cleaning fees, security deposits, extra-guest charges and the cancellation policy all belong in the comparison, which is why every Peacoqs shortlet listing states them before checkout rather than after.
Frequently asked questions
What is a shortlet in Nigeria?
A furnished apartment let by the night or the week rather than by the year, with utilities included in the nightly rate. It sits between a hotel and a tenancy: more space and a kitchen, without the annual commitment or the agency and legal fees that come with renting.
What should I check before booking a shortlet?
The power and water arrangement first — backup supply, who pays for fuel, whether there is storage and a working pump. Then the total price including cleaning fee and any security deposit, the minimum number of nights, the guest cap, the check-in and check-out times, and the cancellation policy.
Are shortlets cheaper than hotels in Nigeria?
Per night they are often comparable to a mid-range hotel, but they usually deliver more space, a kitchen and a laundry, which makes them substantially cheaper for stays of several nights or for a family or group sharing one apartment. Weekly and monthly discounts widen that gap further.
