8 Reasons Short Stay Might Make Sense For Your Next Trip…

Unlike some frequent travelers, we’re not obsessed with hotel loyalty programs. Each trip is a case by case basis for where to stay. Sometimes a major chain is the best answer, sometimes a local boutique and other times – a cozy apartment or villa. Lately, Short stays apartment has won, with incredible options at tempting prices, in the places we frequent most. It’s high time we explained why the company has had such a profound impact on our travels, with at least ten reasons we think they’re worth a try for your next trip.

Free Extras

A big theme here is that people hate being nickel and dime’d. Short stay’s generally always feature free, fast wifi. In addition, many have laundry facilities, Netflix or other time, comfort or money saving perks – like toasters. And there’s no silly 1,2,3 or 4 device limits either!

Legit Reviews

It’s so much harder to fake a good Short stay rental than a great hotel. Only people who have actually paid and stayed at a given Airbnb can review it. This prevents fake reviews and leaves people with a real sense of what the pros and cons of any property are like. If you see a place with 20 perfect reviews, you can pretty much trust em’.

Locale

With Airbnb, you’re pretty much guaranteed that there will be a place somewhere near exactly where you want to be. Perhaps a friend lives in a certain part of town, or you want to be near a stadium, museum – whatever. There’s generally more location flexibility with Airbnb, which can make a huge difference in transit costs.

Kitchen

You’ve gotta eat whether you’re home or traveling – but eating out gets expensive. With a Short stay apartment, you generally have access to a kitchen, allowing you to buy in food for breakfast, dinner or just a mid afternoon snack. With less hotels offering free breakfast than ever before, this is a valuable way to save each and every day.

Local Guide

It may not be true of every property, but many Short stay rentals are run by people who are proud of their city, beach or wherever they are. These people are often willing and happy to assist with recommendations, tips and insider info to make the most of your trip. We’ve had some of the best travel experiences of our life from Airbnb host recommendations.

Savings

Savings aren’t guaranteed, but in many cities, they practically are.

Extra Beds

Hotels love to place tight maximum occupancy restrictions on rooms. Now, that’s not to say you’d want to fit six people into one king bed anyway – but it’s true. Short stay apartments often offers far more flexibility, with pull out couches and depending on property, an allowance for more guests.

Terroir

We love the term “un tourist”. Staying in short stay apartments is an excellent way to find where you’d fit into daily life in a new place. Seeing neighbors, neighborhoods and the styles of a certain city through the eyes of an apartment is a very cool way to feel closer to any destination. Terroir is a term usually associated with wine, but it definitely counts here.
