Do any of you not have a washer/dryer in your unit?

I'm converting a 1-bedroom apartment into a furnished STR/Mid-term rental. It doesn't have wahser/dryer hookups. I'm looking into getting the portable units that they sell for RVs/dorms. Has anyone installed these and if so, were they easy for the guests to use?

Do any of you offer STR/mid-term rentals without a washer and dryer? How successful have you been with that?

Hey April! For an STR, I think you can definitely get away without a washer/dryer, especially if most stays are only a few nights. For mid-term rentals, though, laundry becomes a lot more important since guests may be staying for several weeks or months. Portable units can work, but I’d keep the setup as simple as possible and leave very clear instructions so guests aren’t having to figure it out themselves. I’d also check what nearby competing furnished rentals offer and whether there’s a convenient laundromat nearby before deciding. Happy to connect and answer any questions you have!
