I’ve been using airbnb for month-long rentals across Europe and I still haven’t found a good alternative.
There are no hotels that offer even remotely similar apartment size/price ratios. And I prefer apartments specifically, living in a hotel for a long time is just weird. All my airbnb hosts for the last two years have also been great.
And local rental services and websites either have listings that start at 3+ months, or are completely unreliable, either taking weeks to reply or changing their mind on price or availability a few days before the arrival date.
And airbnb in Europe has a checkbox to display the final price, so you’re not getting unknowingly ripped off.
Is there something usable besides airbnb for 1–1.5 month long rentals across EU?
It is different in Europe because of stronger consumer protection laws.
Vrbo is another option but more geared towards vacation rentals.
Personally I’ve had good experiences overall with Airbnb but it takes research to find the good ones from the suspicious listings.
