Why choose Shortstay?
More than renting an apartment. A complete living experience.
The main difference is the living experience.
QuintoAndar works mainly in the residential rental market, with a model involving owners, tenants and contract administration. Shortstay works differently: you don't need to manage the relationship with the owner directly. Shortstay itself is your single point of contact.
Our team coordinates apartment preparation, inspections, cleaning, maintenance and support during your stay.
On top of that, the apartments are furnished, the contracts are flexible and the Shortstay+ plan includes essential bills and no security deposit, under its conditions.
With a traditional rental, you rent a property. With Shortstay, you get a complete living experience.
If you are looking for a furnished apartment for 30 days or more, Shortstay offers an experience specialized in monthly living, with centralized operations and its own support.
