English term or phrase: where his wife kept an apartment

Es una frase muy simple, se encuentra dentro del siguiente contexto:

In October 1960, while in Munich, where his wife kept an apartment, Beisner was wounded when a bomb exploded in his car. West German police speculated that the French terrorist organization called the Red Hand had carried out the attack.

Nuestra versión es: "mientras su esposa reservaba un departamento", la primera opción fue: "mientras su señora se encontraba en el departamento", pero nuestra profesora nos dijo que la señora no estaba en el departamento en ese momento y que teníamos que buscar una mejor opción.

No estamos seguros bien cómo dejarlo porque no queremos perder el sentido del texto.

Muchas gracias de antemano.
