Serviced homes,
properly kept.
Vetted residences across Lagos, Accra, Cotonou, Cape Town, Lilongwe, London, and Louisiana — held to a single standard of quiet excellence.
I · Selected this week
Residences in residence.
A short selection from the inspected list. Each residence carries the verified crest and is served by a named concierge.
II · Trusted, in writing
Four pillars, spelled out plainly.
Six-point inspection
Every residence is visited and graded against power, water, security, host, concierge, and neighbourhood — before it can carry the crest.
Stripe-secured checkout
Bookings are processed by Stripe. Card details never touch our servers; payouts only release after a stay completes cleanly.
A named concierge
Each residence has one Residence Manager, reachable on WhatsApp. Median response under 15 minutes during stay hours.
Refund up to 48 hours
Cancel up to 48 hours before check-in for a full refund as standard. Documented in writing on every booking.
III · Assurance
A single crest, earned six ways.
Every residence on CitiesTroves carries the verified crest only after an inspection against six points that matter to how a stay actually feels.
Power continuity
Inverter capacity and generator hours logged per unit. Most residences sustain 24-hour cover during a grid outage.
Water reliability
Independent reserve tanks, borehole status, and heated-water provision declared and checked quarterly.
Concierge response
A named Residence Manager, reachable by WhatsApp, answers within 15 minutes during stay hours.
Verified host
Hosts are identity-verified through Smile Identity with biometric liveness; ownership documents on file.
Building security
Graded on perimeter controls, managed access, and estate safety. Residences publish their grade openly.
Neighbourhood brief
Each residence ships with a short editorial note on its street — what is near, what is wise, what is worth the journey.
IV · For hosts
If your home keeps itself to a standard,
we should talk.
We accept a small number of new residences each quarter. Inspection is free and discreet; listings that pass are introduced quietly to our established guests first.
