Which I'd check first

For a few days to 2–3 weeks: Vrbo and the major vacation-rental marketplaces.

For 1–6 months: Furnished Finder, Blueground, Landing, and Anyplace are more specifically designed for this kind of stay.Furnished Finder+1

For the lowest possible price: also check local apartment complexes, sublet listings, and Facebook housing groups—but be particularly careful with off-platform payments and scams.Furnished Finder

If you tell me the city, approximate dates, and how many people, I can search for actual short-term apartments and compare the options.

• Extended-stay hotels — Extended Stay America, Residence Inn, and Staybridge Suites can be surprisingly competitive for several weeks or a month, especially when utilities and housekeeping are included.Furnished Finder

If you're staying for 1–3 months, I'd particularly check Furnished Finder, Airbnb, Vrbo, Blueground, and Landing and compare the total price including cleaning, service, utilities, and deposits.

If you tell me the city and how long you need the apartment (e.g. 2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months), I can narrow this down to the sites most likely to have good options.

If you are looking for short-term apartment rentals outside of the Expedia ecosystem, you have plenty of great alternatives depending on whether you want a peer-to-peer home share, a professionally managed corporate apartment, or a niche aggregator.

Here are the best places to look:

• Peer-to-Peer & Vacation Rental Giants
  • Airbnb : The largest and most obvious alternative, offering everything from a single spare room to entire city apartments and long-stay monthly discounts.
  • Vrbo : Keep in mind that Vrbo is actually owned by Expedia Group, but if you want to check listings specifically for entire-home private vacation properties outside of Expedia's main interface, it's worth a look (though keep in mind there can be cross-over).

• Curated & Luxury Rentals
  • Plum Guide : Handpicks and rigorously vets top-tier homes and apartments in select cities, guaranteeing high standards for design, location, and functionality.

If you share the destination city and your approximate length of stay (e.g., a few days vs. a couple of months), I can recommend which specific platform will give you the best options and pricing.

You can find short-term apartment rentals across dedicated vacation rental platforms, corporate housing providers, mid-term rental marketplaces, and peer-to-peer leasing sites.[1][2]
