Short duration: Especially when attending interviews.
1. Airbnb: It’s a website where you can get rooms for a cheaper rate than the hotel. It’s the best option for a one night or a couple of nights stay.
a. The rooms are usually in an apartment or a house and most often the owners live in the other room.
b. You can search for shared or private rooms.
c. You can search for the rooms according to the distance from the hospital.
d. You can see the photos of the room and house before you book.
e. You can read the reviews and then decide whether to take it or not. YOU MUST read the reviews.
f. It is usually safe. I used it many times without any trouble and so did my friends.
