Mid-term rentals<\/b> are categorized as any stay of more than 30 days, but generally less than six months, this again depending on local restrictions and legislations for each city and depending on the country.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests who book mid-term are typically not travelers. They are individuals or families who live in, or close to your destination and need a temporary place to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the coronavirus pandemic, the mid-term rental demographic has expanded. Remote workers, digital nomads, relocating professionals, and students are now driving a steady rise in demand. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
