If you’re clerking downtown this summer, Lodgeur is your easiest option. You can book a sleep-ready apartment as easily as you would book a hotel room, ensuring you won’t be spending the night before your clerkship piecing together a bed from IKEA or trying to get the WiFi set up properly. Just bring your clothes and order your groceries because you’re ready to go.
Extended Stay Hotel. Paying for a room in an extended-stay hotel isn’t attractive for a medium-term stay. Extended-stay hotels can usually tick the boxes for a gym, pool and kitchenette, but the drab decor and tight quarters are nothing to write home about.
Corporate Housing. Corporate housing companies usually operate in the analog era and typically require you submit an online inquiry form with your name, contact information and budget before they call you on the phone to discuss your plans and offer you a quote.
Airbnb and VRBO. Most of the popular Airbnb listings will already have bookings far in advance, so it can be tricky to find one with availability for your entire clerkship.
Lodgeur. Lodgeur operates in Class-A apartment communities with higher quality amenities than most hotels. You can search for your specific apartment on our website, book online, check in from your phone, and text us if you need anything. Lodgeur holds apartments for extended stays, so there won’t be a weekend booking in the middle of your clerkship. Not to mention, you won’t have to worry about cleaning your apartment because cleaners are scheduled to visit every 2 weeks.
We have hosted more than 6,000 guests, whether they’re looking to stay for just a few nights, weeks or months. Lodgeur hosts professional athletes in town for the sports season, actors in town for the theater season, consultants on open-ended projects, young doctors on their medical residencies as well as law clerks and interns of all stripes.
Lodgeur attracts young professionals looking for stylish and comfortable on-demand housing. From edgy murals in our Digital Nomad suites to our heavenly memory foam mattresses, every item is curated to make your stay as comfortable as possible. (We receive so many guest inquiries about Lodgeur’s mattresses that we have a standard email response to let guests know where to buy them!)
Not to mention, the convenience of on-demand housing benefits both you and the planet. You won’t have to worry about dealing with packing supplies, brand new furniture and other household items, which means you’ll also significantly help cut down on waste and emissions.
Lodgeur’s Midtown apartments at Mid Main Lofts attract law clerks every year due to its premium location.
Mid Main Lofts offers free parking in the attached garage and has its own stop on the METRORail line to Downtown. So if you don’t have a car or want to avoid parking downtown, you can take the METRORail from the Ensemble/HCC stop to Main Street Square or Preston stops.
Mid Main Lofts also has four restaurants on the ground floor of the building, with another six across the street and dozens more trendy restaurants and bars all within walking distance. The nearest grocery store is 0.6 miles away. The neighborhood is filled with a lively mix of theaters, specialty museums, parks, beer gardens and live music venues. So next time you’re out late or just need a nice pick-me-up after a long day, you’ll have food and drink options galore right on your doorstep.
Between exam prep, keeping an eye on class rank and landing clerkships, law students don’t have much time for setting up a home for the summer. Lodgeur provides on-demand housing, ready to go. No boxes, movers or furniture assembly required.
