- Look for short-term rental options: There are numerous options for short-term rentals depending on the location of your assignment. You will want to consider furnished apartments, extended-stay hotels, or possibly vacation rentals.
- Your comfort and safety should be taken into consideration for your temporary housing. Do some research on the area you will call home for the duration of your assignment. This could be a great question to ask during the interview process. You can gain insight from someone familiar with the area while showing that you are interested in taking the assignment.
- Use online tools to find your temporary housing. There are numerous websites and platforms that offer a wide-ranging list of options for you. Consider Airbnb, Furnished Finder, and VRBO to name a few. You can easily filter your search to meet your needs.
- Consider sharing your temporary housing with another traveler. Sharing housing can give you the opportunity to save money on your assignment. There are numerous social media groups that connect travelers with others that may be looking at sharing as an option.
Plan ahead and start your search as soon as possible. This will ensure that you are able to find the perfect accommodations during your assignment. We hope that you enjoy your home away from home, and are able to explore the community you are serving.
