What are the benefits of flex living for companies?
More and more companies are using different options for housing their employees. Flex living is one of them and is here to stay, especially for long-term stays. Here are some of the benefits it offers:
Â
- Price. This is a key factor. For the company, it means financial savings compared to other options. The daily price of hotels skyrockets, especially for long-term stays.
- Flexibility. At the time of booking, check in/out or extension of a reservation. These contracts are more flexible than traditional rental contracts. They offer greater adaptability in case you need to extend or shorten your stay. It also means savings by not having to pay a penalty.
- Services Included. You don’t have to worry about registering any of them: internet, water, electricity or gas, they are all included in the rate.
- Fully equipped apartments. Ideal for long term stays. You need a space to move in with all the necessary amenities for your stay: kitchen, furniture, working areas, good wifi connection, weekly cleaning service included, bed linen, etc. The worker therefore does not have to worry about anything, it is a simpler adaptation.
- Ease of payment. Negotiation with a sales executive in charge of your account to facilitate the whole process of negotiation, booking and payment.
- Events and activities available in your community. This is the differentiating element of these spaces: offering experiences and opportunities to connect and meet people who are living in another city for work reasons and want to make the most of their time.

- Spaces to take care of the employee. This type of accommodation offers different spaces for the guest’s well-being such as: gym, mindfulness room, paddle tennis or other sports courts, swimming pool. In addition to activities that are created in the community to promote coexistence.
For which professional profiles is flex living ideal?
Young Professionals and Digital Nomads.
Â
The Flex living concept is also adapted to the needs of digital nomads and young people who are taking their first steps in the working world. Due to the high price of housing, young professionals are looking for more affordable solutions to move into. These buildings offer housing, workspaces and social activities in one place at an unbeatable price.

More and more people are also taking advantage of the possibility to travel and work. They organize themselves to enjoy a destination while working. The digital nomad market is growing and countries are looking for incentives to attract them, such as Spain with the Digital Nomad visa. These customers are looking for fully equipped accommodations, with an excellent internet connection as a fundamental requirement to develop their work, along with other additional services that make their stay as profitable as possible. And Node responds to these desires, with a range of additional services that generate community. An extra benefit for digital nomads.
