Startup YourNewBase announces its launch and its goal to be the singular platform for finding and booking serviced apartments. YourNewBase is more than just a listing aggregator—it's a new way for travelers, expats, and relocation companies to connect with the properties that best suit their needs.

YourNewBase was founded by Nikita Andreev, who after working in five different cities (across three continents) saw the need for a better way to book short-term accommodation. After leaving a successful career in Ad Technology, he sold almost all his possessions and embarked on a 15-month journey around the world as a Digital Nomad. Equipped with a first-hand understanding of what the modern traveler looks for in terms of furnished housing options, Nikita decided to build YourNewBase.com and change the industry for good.

According to a recent (2016) Global Serviced Apartments Industry Report released by The Apartment Service, there are over 820,000 serviced apartment units worldwide—across over 9,000 locations. Having doubled in supply over the last eight years, the total pool of serviced apartments continues to grow (10.5% growth in the 18 months alone). YourNewBase is on a mission to make it easier for travelers and corporates to find a perfect location for a temporary stay.

Says Nikita, "Anyone that has been on an overseas assignment understands just how tricky it can be to find a good Serviced Apartment. First of all, there's no single platform that combines all the listings out there—so companies often have no choice but to go through a relocation service just to see the available options. On top of that, there's no place to read reviews by previous tenants—and this is the kind of transparency consumers are increasingly demanding from any business with an online presence."

With YourNewBase.com's platform, users can quickly see all the available Serviced Apartment options in each city. Every building is overlaid on a map (which also features the locations of the city's main co-working spaces). Inside each listing, users will find a list of the location's facilities, details about the in-room amenities, and prices for each available room type. Users of the platform can also see property ratings and reviews from previous tenants.

Says Nikita, "It's no secret that this sector is lagging behind other categories in the Travel industry. We're all used to booking hotels and air tickets in seconds—but it can still take days just to get a price estimate for a Serviced Apartment. Something has to change."

As of today, YourNewBase.com features 127 property listings across 16 cities in Asia and Australia. While the initial focus has been on Asia Pacific, the startup aims to expand to every major Serviced Apartment hub. In the future, it plans to build out its own booking engine—as well as a mobile app for added convenience.
