Why split a shortlet?
Lagos shortlets run roughly ₦20k–₦150k a night depending on area and size, and during Detty December a one-bed in Lekki Phase 1 can hit ₦300k–₦700k. Split three or four ways, the same apartment costs each person a fraction — often less than a hotel room, with a kitchen and more space. See the full breakdown in our shortlet price guide and the affordable-December playbook in Detty December accommodation.
The catch is trust — splitting means sharing space, and shortlet scams are common. On Mushrooms Stays everyone is phone- and identity-verified before matching, you chat as a group first, and each person's share sits in escrow until check-in. More on booking safely: how to avoid shortlet scams.
