renthub - opinions.

 Hi All,

 

 Anyone had any experiences finding serviced apartments in Bangkok via renthub?

 Specifically mid-term rental, for a few months, definitely less than a year.

 

 thanks.

hit and miss

 

most of the time your going to get bait and switched into another room/price for whats vacant when you show up. in other words the people listing dont keep info updated.

 Thanks, that was my suspicion.

 So clearly better to use it to identify potential places and then visit in person.

or just walk into an agents office, do their questionnaire and they drive you around to what fits

 

searching the listings for a particular place online a waste of time for me

 

seemed like just agents putting up listings as a way to hook new fish when i tried it

[shadowofacloud]

Yeah, but most agents are focused on long-term rentals (min. 1 year) and I typically need a serviced apt for 2-4 months, ideally on a monthly basis with little hassle.

Thanks, I know hipflat, ddproperty etc. But these are for long term rentals.

Any particular area you had in mind?

[shadowofacloud]

Yes, I am quite fond of the stretch from Phrom Phong to Ekkamai (or even to Phra Khanong).

Currently also considering leaving the old haunts and testing the water around Ari.

Yes - it's very good for this, in terms of showing local options, prices and photos.
