Migratory birds stay in short-term rentals, including hotels with board and lodging, short-term rental apartments and monthly hotels, each with their own advantages and disadvantages

After living in short-term rental in Xishuangbanna during this period of time, I will talk about some of my experiences and opinions on the three most important short-term rental places for migratory birds to choose during their short-term rental residence. The method of short-term rental and sojourn is not within the scope of the discussion of short-term rental and sojourn.

I think there are no more than three ways of short-term rental, that is: the first option is to choose a short-term rental apartment or house for winter or summer; the second option is to include three meals a day Hotels, guesthouses or B&Bs with accommodation; the third option is to live long-term in hotels, guesthouses or B&Bs that provide short-term rental services on a monthly or quarterly basis. So let’s talk about some of my actual experiences and opinions on short-term rentals. I hope all netizens can provide supplements and corrections.

Although I am a travel veteran, I have more than 100,000 fans because I publish some travel experiences. But that was just me sharing my experiences during the trip with netizens all over the country without any water or profit, and it was recognized by some netizens. However, I have only started to experience short-term rental accommodation this year. This time in Xishuangbanna, I have truly integrated into this group of short-term rental accommodation migratory birds, and I am finally qualified to share my experience and opinions.

Let’s first talk about the first option of short-term rental, the advantages and disadvantages of short-term renting an apartment or house in a different place. The advantage of short-term renting an apartment or house in a different place is that you can find an apartment or house that suits your needs, because some migratory elderly people will have their children or relatives to accompany them during the Spring Festival and other holidays, so They need larger houses for short-term rentals. They need more living rooms, larger dining rooms and kitchens to accommodate family reunions. Some elderly people like quietness and do not like a group of elderly people living together. Hotels or guesthouses, their choice is also short-stay apartments. The price of short-term rental apartments across the country is basically around 800 to 1,000 yuan per month. Of course, the price of larger houses for short-term rental is higher.

Let me talk about what I think are the shortcomings of short-term rental apartments or houses. Short-term rental apartments or houses require a deposit, and then the electricity and water bills are paid according to the actual usage every month. cost. In fact, I personally think the most troublesome thing is the deposit. Can I withdraw the deposit in full when checking out? This issue really needs to be discussed, and I hope netizens who read this article can provide some practical cases. Then there are the problems of aging or damage of some equipment in short-term rental houses during use, such as sewer blockage, etc. The solutions to these problems are far less convenient and faster than those in short-term rental hotels or B&Bs, because there are bosses and The waiters are on duty 24 hours a day and can basically solve all problems that arise in the short-term rental room promptly and quickly.

The second option is to rent for a short period of time in a hotel or guesthouse that includes three meals a day and accommodation. The advantage is that you don’t have to cook, and you don’t need to pay for water, electricity, etc. Yes, it is a lot less troublesome than renting an apartment short-term.

But the shortcomings are also obvious. (1) Everyone has their own tastes and food preferences, and the elderly people living here come from different places across the country. For example, some people like spicy food, and some like light food. , it is said that it is difficult to agree with everyone, so three meals a day with room and board included is definitely not as suitable as cooking your own meals to suit your taste. (2) In some places that provide three meals a day, the food may be rich and delicious when attracting the elderly to stay. However, as more elderly people move in, the quality of the food plummets. (3) Some elderly people like to visit scenic spots frequently, so it is impossible for them to return to the hotel for dinner at noon? Basically, you pay for your meals at restaurants outside, so the money paid for the meals at the hotel is, to put it bluntly, wasted. (4) Hotel fees that include three meals a day are charged per capita. For example, if each person is 1,800 yuan per month, then the cost of a couple living in one room is 3,600 yuan. This cost is much higher than the cost of short-term rentals in hotels and guesthouses. Calculating according to the market price of rooms with relatively good conditions, a room generally costs about 1,000 yuan. Even if you live in two people, it will still cost 1,000 yuan. If you cook by yourself, the cost for two people will be about 2,000 yuan, compared to 3,600 yuan. Basically save half the cost. Moreover, the meals cooked are richer and are all what I like to eat. In comparison, I eat better and save money.

The third option is to rent rooms in hotels or guesthouses that provide short-term or long-term rentals as mentioned above. Because the conditions of hotels are different, their rents are also different. For example, the short-term rental hotel where Lao Niu lives now is a very clean and well-equipped room. The monthly price is 1,000 yuan. In fact, there are many monthly rental rooms nearby for about 800 yuan. These hotels and guesthouses basically provide Dining kitchen or public kitchen.

The advantage is that all water and electricity bills are included in the customer service, saving you money. Equipment such as plates and bowls for eating will also be provided, but if you cook, some monthly rental houses will charge 100 yuan per month for gas and electricity. If there is a problem with the facilities in the guest room, the boss will solve it promptly and quickly.

If the elderly couple buys and cooks their own food, according to what I have seen, these elderly people’s monthly food is probably more than 1,000 yuan, which means that the elderly couple can have more than 2,000 yuan for accommodation and food a month. Compared with You can save a lot of money by staying in a hotel that includes three meals a day, and you can go to restaurants outside at any time to eat some local specialties. Elderly people don’t need to worry about paying for meals without meals.

Of course, the disadvantage is that basically all such hotels or guesthouses provide private kitchens. It is not as convenient as using the kitchen independently in a short-term rental apartment. Compared with a hotel with board and lodging, you You need to make enough food and clothing by yourself.

In fact, short-term rental is to find happiness and comfort for yourself. Finally, let me tell you my own opinions. You don’t need to be too picky when looking for short-term rental houses or hotels. After all, a comfortable living environment can also make you feel good. Some houses with very cheap monthly rents have very outdated facilities and equipment. , the living environment is indeed too bad.
