In this episode of the Remote Work Life Podcast, I’m joined by Ben Davis, Co-Founder of Saxbury, a long-time specialist in serviced apartments, aparthotels, and flexible accommodation.

Ben has spent more than two decades working across corporate housing, relocation, and property advisory, and he’s one of the clearest voices I’ve met on how the accommodation landscape is shifting for businesses.

I ask Ben why finding the right place to live and work is still far harder than it should be, even for experienced travellers. Ben breaks down the real differences between serviced apartments, aparthotels, co-living, and short-term rentals, and explains why the “just book an Airbnb” approach often falls short when someone needs reliability, safety, decent Wi-Fi, and a proper work setup.

We also talk about what companies actually look for when booking long-stay accommodation, how professionals’ needs have changed post-COVID, and why landlords and agents are slowly adapting to a workforce that moves differently. Ben also touches on the growing demand for work-ready spaces and how developers are rethinking underused buildings to meet it.

If you’ve ever struggled to book accommodation that fits the way you or your team work, this conversation will make the whole landscape much clearer.
