Word Usage – Word to Describe an Apartment When Owners Are on Vacation

single-word-requestsword-choiceword-usage

Please help me choose the most suitable word in this context:

When I went on vacation, thieves climbed into my abandoned apartment.

Does 'abandoned' word fit well in this usage? My apartment does not contain junk and not dilapidated. Good one with all necessary properties. It just was temporarily without owners. Nobody lived there for a few days.

What're better and more suitable options?

derelict, deserted, forsaken, emptied, unoccupied, outcast, something else?

Best Answer

I would use the word unattended, as opposite to attended.
From the Vocabulary.com Dictionary:

having a caretaker or other watcher

When I went on vacation, thieves climbed into my unattended apartment.
