Short Let Apartments in Lagos: Daily, Weekly & Monthly Rates by Area with Direct Booking Links (2026)
The short-let apartment market in Lagos has exploded — growing over 200% since 2020. Whether you are a diaspora Nigerian visiting for Detty December, a business traveler needing a comfortable alternative to hotels, a relocating professional seeking temporary housing, or a tourist exploring Africa's most dynamic city, short-let apartments offer more space, privacy, and value than hotels. This guide covers short-let rates across every Lagos area, by apartment size, with direct links to available listings on PropertyFind Nigeria.
Why Short-Let Instead of Hotels? A standard hotel room in Victoria Island costs N80,000-N150,000 per night for 25-35 square meters. A short-let apartment at the same price offers 60-120 square meters, a full kitchen, a living room, and privacy. For stays of 3+ nights, short-lets are the superior choice. For stays of 2+ weeks, they are dramatically cheaper.
