Have you decided to rent your flat for a medium term on Flatio? Well then you are apparently thinking about how such an accommodation for rent should look like.

Nevertheless, what people looking for medium-term rentals want – hotel or something similar to traditional long-term rental? How should your apartment for rent look like to comply with your customers? Read on to learn more!

Fully equipped apartment is the basis

Do you think that a tenant seeking an apartment for a few months won’t be so demanding because they will stay there only for a while? It's not true. Like hotel rooms for a couple of nights, medium-term rentals have to comply with some standard based on the market offer. A fully equipped apartment, including an Internet connection, is the basis – bed, wardrobes, dining table, sofa and so on. A tenant who will stay for only a few months doesn’t want to solve where to buy some furniture.

Smaller apartments with one or two rooms are perfect for medium-term rental. However, people also look for three-room apartments – for example a group of students, family during relocation or friends on travel. The apartment can also be rented by rooms. Rooms are of great interest mainly due to lower price.

Flats in the center are rented like a hot cake

Who shouldn't want to live in a center and have everything so close! For this reason, foreigners love housing in the center. However, if your apartment is not near the center, don't worry. Find another advantage of your apartment for rent and don’t forget to mention this information in your ad.

For example, it could be located near an office park, a university or some important traffic junction.
