While corporate housing offers a multitude of benefits, there are other alternatives for extended stays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A local hotel <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hotels frequently offer amenities such as business centers, fitness rooms, or complimentary meals, but staying in a hotel long-term can be very expensive. Additionally, hotels are not equipped for long-term renters to cook meals, as they often don\u2019t have full kitchens and utensils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AirBnB<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

AirBnB accommodations provide fully furnished apartments or rooms and can be more \u201chomey\u201d than a hotel. Yet AirBnB owners don\u2019t have the same certification or may lack experience compared to corporate housing owners.

Being in an unfamiliar area can be challenging even under the best of circumstances, and corporate housing seeks to alleviate the stress and provide a home for residents in need.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
