A better workspace, for a little while.
A practical checklist before you settle into your next apartment.
By Oficina. Reviewed November 14, 2026.
Start with the space you already have.
Ask your host for a photo and the dimensions of the surface where you plan to work. Check where the power outlets are and whether you can move the chair comfortably. A photo is often more useful than a list of furniture.
Bring the details, not the bulky things.
Keep your laptop model, power adapter, and any essential adapters in your packing list. Before requesting a screen, share a photo of your laptop’s ports so the connector and cable can be confirmed.
Plan the first and last day.
Share your arrival and departure dates with your equipment inquiry. Delivery access, timing, pickup, fees, and any deposit need to be agreed before a booking is confirmed.
Leave room to adjust.
Your first shortlist is a starting point. Ask about the exact model, dimensions, condition, and included accessories. A requested item is not reserved until the local contact confirms it.
