If you had to rent out a room in your house which website or app would you post it on? You can’t say Craigslist, Airbnb, or Facebook marketplace

    those 3 would be the best for a room.  So I would say couchsurfer, Zillow, apartents.com,

    I'm not sure exactly what your strategy is, but here is my list of sites for each strategy. I'm currently rent-by-rooming, so I haven't used all the sites listed. I just compiled this list for whenever I do use another strategy.

    Traditional Long Term Rental:
    - Zillow
    - Realtor.com
    - Hotpads
    - FB Marketplace
    - FB Groups
    - Apartments.com
    - Craigslist

    Rent-by-room Rental:
    - FB Marketplace
    - FB Groups
    - Zillow
    - Roomies.com
    - Roomiapp.com

    Short-Term-Rental:
    - Airbnb
    - VRBO
    - Flip Key
    - Booking.com

    Medium-Term Rental:
    - Furnished Finders
    - Kopa.co
    - Airbnb (with 30 day minimum stay)

    If you are looking to stay away from the 3 you mention (Craigslist, Airbnb, or FB Marketplace) I would post that you have a room for rent all over your social media accounts. In my experience when renting out rooms, referrals are going to be your most reliable bet.
