What digital check-in actually means
Digital check-in means the whole arrival process happens through your phone, before you
ever reach the building. There's no front desk to find, no office hours to make, and nobody
you need to coordinate with on the day.
The important word there is before. By the time you're standing at the door, everything has
already been handled — the booking, the payment, the verification, the access. Arrival stops
being an appointment and becomes something you simply do.
For a guest landing at an odd hour, that's the difference between an hour of stress and
walking straight in.
How to book, step by step
The whole thing takes a few minutes on a phone.
1. Find your apartment. Go to www.staysmartbookings.com and search by city, dates and
number of guests. You'll see what's actually available for those nights, with photos and
nightly rates — no enquiry form, no waiting on a reply.
2. Pick the home you want. Each listing shows the bedrooms, how many it sleeps, and
what's included, so you can compare properly rather than guessing from one photo.
3. Create your account or log in. Email and password, or continue with Google. This is
what lets you manage the booking later without messaging anyone.
4. Pay securely. Payment runs through Paystack, so your card details go to the payment
processor, not to us. You'll see the full total for your dates before you confirm — the number
on the review screen is the number you pay.
5. Verify your identity. A quick check: a government ID and a selfie. It takes a minute and
it's the reason the next part is possible.
6. Let yourself in. [INSERT: how access details reach the guest — e.g. "Your access details
arrive by email once verification clears" — and when they arrive relative to check-in.]
That's it. No calls, no waiting, no handover.
Why we ask you to verify your ID
This is the step people ask about most, so it's worth being straight about it.
Digital check-in only works if everyone can trust it. When there's no person at the door, the
check has to happen somewhere — so we move it earlier, to a quick ID and selfie at the
point of booking.
It protects you, because it means the same standard applies to every guest in the building.
It protects the home, because we know who's staying in it. And it protects the neighbours,
which matters more than people expect in residential buildings.
It's one minute at booking, and it's what buys you a 2am arrival with nobody watching the
clock.
Add a ride while you're booking
Getting in is one thing. Getting there is another.
You can add a ride to your stay alongside the booking:
Airport pickup — arranged in advance, so you're not negotiating a fare with your bags
in your hand
City run — for meetings, dinners, or wherever the day takes you
Apartment tour — if you're viewing before committing to a longer stay
You can also add a private chef for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you'd rather not think about
food on your first night.
Both are optional. Both are handled in the same place as the booking, which is the point.
Common questions
What if I arrive very late, or very early? That's precisely what digital check-in is for.
There's nobody to wake and no office to catch. [INSERT: your actual check-in and check-
out times, and whether early arrival or late departure can be arranged.]
Is it safe? Payments run through Paystack rather than through us, and every guest
completes ID verification before check-in. The verification step is what keeps the buildings
secure without anyone needing to stand at the door.
What if something goes wrong when I arrive? [INSERT: how a guest reaches support on
arrival — number, WhatsApp line, or in-app — and your response time.]
Do I need to download an app? No. Everything runs in your browser at
www.staysmartbookings.com.
Which cities can I book in? Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt.
Book direct
Booking directly on our site means you're dealing with us, not a middleman — one account,

point of booking rather than as an afterthought.
