I'm in Charleston SC area with 2 active Mid Term rentals. We've had good activity with Furnished Finders and Airbnb for the last 18-24 months. I've also had the properties listed  on Mini Stays for 6 months plus with zero inquiry.

      Huh, interesting. That was kind of what I suspected was happening.

    @Marie Willis I see people promoting it on facebook pages but I don't see listings in our area.

    They have been engaging with many of my posts on social media, but I have not yet joined their platform. I would avoid platforms for mid-term reservations anyway, unless they are providing you with direct access to the client.

    All of our 30+ properties we manage are listed on MiniStays. I've met the owner and some of their team members, and I think they have a good thing going. It makes sense that they don't have much market presence yet and bookings for those who list with them. I believe their priority is to get more inventory so that they can attract bookings to their platform.

    @Allen Duan what percentage of your bookings on a given property come from ministays? what advantages for the lister do you see over furnished finder or airbnb?  Any big pluses?      They might have a good thing going for them but how have you experienced it as good for your business aside from having another place out there where your property is visible?
