      In a hotel? Of course. There’s all those “extended stay” hotels and in some places they have weeklies, which you can rent for a night or a week or a month. But the point is, all the rooms are the same so you know exactly what you’re getting.

        You don’t know what you’re getting when you stay in privately owned short stay accommodation ?

        I’ve always found listings are far more descriptive than hotels.
