Coliving Is a Safer Place During This Outbreak

At Settl. we are trying to do everything possible to keep our properties COVID free and maintain the highest standard of cleanliness and hygiene. Every member has got their private bedroom, fridge, and bathroom allowing for safe self-isolation in case needed. Shared spaces still are open but, with very strict protocol — and in line with the Government recommendation. Our onsite cleaners sanitize the whole communal spaces every day and our community manager is accessible 24/7 to help and deal with any kind of requests.
