How to advertise my apartment for short term rent?

February 24, 2009 1:08 AM

I made a website for my apartment to rent it out in short term let. Somebody has any idea what to add there or where to advertise this. Was thinking about facebook. Somebody has experience? Tried sublet.com but it isn't working very good so far.

[link removed. apartment is in milan] Thanks ahead for all help!

Best answer: You might consider the sublets section of the milan page for craigslist.com:

You could consider posting on sites like sabbaticalhomes.com where it is mostly professors looking for short term housing.

Yup, if I was looking for a short term apartment, I'd look on CL.

When I was looking for an immediate short-term place to stay, Craigslist was by far the most useful resource. Sublet.com had a buggy interface and every link seemed to go to an aggressive agent.

FWIW, the ad on Craigslist that I actually went with contained a link to a stand-alone page about the property with a lot more information. If you have the time to whip up a page with a lot of photos that would answer a renter's questions before they had to ask you, you'd be in good shape.
