Read Here About Staying in Corporate Housing
This section is for all interns staying in NYC, NY (Hoboken, NJ office) or Santa Clara, CA. Take note of the following:
- Corporate Housing is a fully furnished apartment with all housewares, utilities, and wifi included.
- A typical corporate apartment has a fully equipped kitchen/ kitchenette including dishwasher, oven, stove, microwave, fridge/freezer, and other appliances – coffee machine, toaster, TV etc.
- Typical housewares included in your apartment are cutlery, cookware, glassware, sheets, and towels.
- Apartments also include washer and dryer access, either inside the apartment or communal washer and dryer location in the building.
Other Important Notes to Prepare
Maintenance Support: This is typically offered on-site or it’s just a phone call away. You will have access to a 24/7 emergency line which can used for situations like: no hot water, apartment flooding, being locked out of an apartment, etc.
You’ll Need to Bring: When staying in corporate housing, all of your basic apartment furnishing needs are covered, but you will need to bring all of your personal items- clothing, cosmetics, etc. Also, feel free to bring other items to enjoy your time while staying in the apartment- games, workout equipment (some apartment communities may provide workout facilities on site), bike, etc. You will also need to go grocery shopping for food after arrival to stock up your kitchen, but all of your pots and pans will already be in your apartment ready to use.
Amenities: These vary by property; to learn more about the amenities at your property, please check out the property’s website. Some amenities may not be automatically included in your stay. Please feel free to reach out for clarification.
IMPORTANT: if you plan to bring a vehicle or bike, please be sure to let CapRelo or Dwellworks Living know prior to your arrival. There may be additional fees or paperwork required by the property.

Other Important Notes to Prepare
Laundry: many hotels offer laundry services onsite during your stay. More information regarding this will be available on your arrival instructions.
Housekeeping: many hotels include the option for consistent housekeeping services during your stay. More information regarding this will be available on your arrival instructions.
Amenities: Hotel amenities can range from small gyms to pools and hot tubs and vary by property. Please refer to the specific hotel’s website that you have selected to see what amenity spaces will be available onsite. Please refer to the additional notes in your specific hotel selection as that will tell you what type of room you should expect to stay in and if there will be a kitchenette included or not.
What you will need to bring: Staying in hotel you will need to bring all of your personal items- clothing, cosmetics, etc. Also, feel free to bring other items to enjoy your time while staying in your hotel – games, workout equipment (some apartment communities may provide workout facilities on site), bike, personal electronics, etc.
Vehicle: if you plan to bring a vehicle, pet, or bike, please be sure to let CapRelo or Dwellworks Living know prior to your arrival. There may be additional fees or paperwork required by the hotel
IMPORTANT: Please note, upon arrival, hotels require you to provide photo ID and a credit card to be kept on file for incidental charges during your stay. If you provide a debit card instead of a credit card, it is highly likely there will be a significant charge placed on your debit card and funds may be held until you check out. The amount varies depending on the hotel, but can be significant (Ex. $50/day for the duration of your entire stay). With a major credit card, the incidentals deposit is merely a hold. We highly recommend that you provide a credit card from a major credit card provider (Master Card and Visa are the most widely accepted brands) to avoid any charges outside of incidentals.
Travel Checklist for Your Internship
What to Pack for Your Internship
Getting an internship at a Fortune 500 company can be a great opportunity to gain valuable skills and experience. However, it also requires careful planning and preparation. You need to pack the right items for your destination, your work environment, and your personal needs.
Here are some tips and suggestions for what to bring with you to your internship.
- Driver’s license, ID card, and other travel documents: Make sure they are valid and have your current address. Keep copies of your documents in a safe place and email them to yourself as a backup.
- Flight tickets, accommodation confirmation, and contact information: Print them out and keep them in your carry-on bag.
- Health insurance and car insurance: Check if your policy covers you in your destination and bring your insurance cards and policy numbers.
- Prescription medications and personal items: Bring enough supply and keep them in their original containers with labels. You may also need a letter from your doctor and some items, such as glasses, contact lenses, sunglasses, and prescriptions that you use regularly. Consider putting these in a carry-on bag so you don’t lose them if you are separated from your main luggage if flying.
- Clothing and accessories: Pack clothing that is appropriate for the climate, culture, and dress code of your destination and your internship. You may need some formal or business attire, as well as some casual or leisure wear. Don’t forget to pack some accessories, such as shoes, belts, hats, sunglasses, and jewelry.
- Electronics and chargers: Bring your laptop, phone, charger, and any other electronics that you need. You may also want to bring a camera, headphones, and a power bank.
- Toiletries and hygiene products: Pack the essential toiletries, such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, sunscreen, and feminine products. You may want to bring some extra items, such as makeup, hair products, nail clippers, tweezers, and razors. You should also consider bringing some hygiene products, such as hand sanitizer, wipes, and masks.
- Backpack and luggage: Choose a backpack and luggage that are durable, spacious, and easy to carry. You may also want to bring a smaller bag for your daily use. Follow the weight and size limits of your airline and pack your bags efficiently and securely. Label your bags with your name, address, and phone number.
This is not a comprehensive list, but a general guide. You may need to adjust your packing list according to your specific destination, internship, and personal preferences. The most important thing is to pack light, pack smart, and pack what you need. Have a great internship!
