Somewhere to land
Accommodation is the piece most travellers and students leave last and regret first. Securing the wrong lease from three thousand miles away is expensive and difficult to undo. RFI Travels arranges housing that matches how long you are staying, what you can spend and what a landlord will actually accept from an overseas applicant.
What is included
- Student accommodation — university halls, purpose-built student housing and vetted private shares near campus.
- Serviced apartments — furnished, bill-inclusive apartments for stays from a week to several months.
- Short-let and holiday stays — apartments and villas for family and group travel.
- Hotel reservations — negotiated rates for business, leisure and transit stays.
- Homestays — supervised host families, particularly for younger students and language programmes.
- Guarantor and paperwork support — help with the references, deposits and guarantor requirements that block international tenants.
What we check before you sign
We verify that the property exists and is licensed where licensing applies, read the tenancy terms for break clauses and deposit protection, confirm what bills are included, and check the commute to campus or office in real travel time rather than map distance.
How the process runs
- Requirements. Location, dates, budget, and whether you need furnished or self-catered.
- Shortlist. Verified options with photographs, full costs and contract terms.
- Viewing. Virtual viewings arranged, or an in-person viewing through a local contact.
- Contracting. We review the agreement with you and support the deposit and guarantor steps.
- Arrival. Keys, inventory and check-in coordinated for the day you land.
Who this is for
Students arriving for a new academic year, families relocating, professionals on assignment, and travellers who need more than a hotel room for an extended stay.
