Finding the most flexible, most comfortable, most affordable furnished housing is easy with these tips.
As someone that travels full-time for work, finding a comfortable and affordable furnished apartment while working in Sioux City is essential. Short-term furnished apartments can provide a great option for those looking for a home away from home. We understand you don’t have time to scour the market for the best deal on housing so let’s cut to the chase.
Here are some tips for finding the best monthly furnished apartments in Sioux City:
Search online: Ask Google to find you the ‘best short-term furnished apartments in Sioux City’. You’ll most likely see a bunch of ‘index type’ corporate housing, or rental sites, but the internet is a great resource for finding short-term furnished apartments in Sioux City. Use keywords such as "monthly furnished apartments Sioux City" or "short-term furnished rentals Sioux City" to narrow down your search. The index sites will be for national corporate housing companies, they just call us for a quote because we’re local, and they’ll rent the apartment FOR YOU, and then upcharge it so that you’ll be paying a much higher rate than if you were just going to call us directly. We love working with them, but it’s cheaper for you to just go directly. IMPORTANT: Top search results don’t mean they are the best choice. You need to find the local providers with the most flexible terms. NOT the cheapest (terms are everything).
Look for LOCAL rental companies (this is VERY important) To find the best monthly furnished apartments in Sioux City, try to identify the local rental companies that specialize in short-term rentals. You may have to scroll thru the search results (right now we’re #22 on the list, so keep scrolling past ads and corporate index sites). Local furnished housing companies often have a range of apartments available, with various amenities and services tailored to the needs (and budgets!) of business travelers. Local furnished housing providers also have a better understanding of the local market and be able to provide valuable insights into the best neighborhoods and locations to stay. Additionally, local rental companies will offer more personalized service and, MOST IMPORTANTLY be more flexible with their rental terms, allowing you to find the perfect flexible furnished apartment for your needs.
Ask about important rental terms: When considering short-term furnished apartments in Sioux City, it's important to ask about the rental terms. Make sure to inquire about the minimum length of stay, cancellation policies, and any other important details that may impact your stay (ask for all fees, background check requirements, credit check, etc). This is especially important if you're a business traveler who may need to be transferred for work or have a change of plans. You don't want to be caught off guard by unexpected fees or penalties. By asking about rental terms upfront, you can ensure that you're getting the best deal possible and avoid any surprises down the line. It’s our experience at SOMNI that 95% of the people that come to stay need a month-to-month flexible rental term (look for a 30-day rental minimum, we have ultra short-term leases at SOMNI). It’s very common to be transferred and you won’t want to be stuck paying a lease break fee and several more months of rent which could amount to thousands of dollars.
Ask your coworkers if they're also traveling for work: If you're traveling to Sioux City with coworkers, it may be worth asking if they're also in need of short-term furnished apartments. By sharing an apartment, you can often get a much better living experience than staying in an extended-stay hotel with a kitchen. Each coworker can have their own bedroom, providing more privacy and comfort, and you can split the cost of the apartment. This can be a great way to save money and make your stay more enjoyable. By working together with your coworkers, you can ensure that everyone has a comfortable and affordable living situation while working in Sioux City.
Fun fact: SOMNI offers referral rewards if you refer your coworkers and also project discounts if you are traveling for a larger project.
Finding the best monthly furnished apartments in Sioux City requires a little research and planning, but if you are short on time, click here and we’ll text you some great options. By searching Google, identifying a local rental company, and making sure you are familiar with their most flexible rental terms for short-term stays, you can find the perfect living situation that meets your needs and budget.
