If you’re looking for a room to rent in London for just three months, what’s the best way to go about it?

Your budget will determine whether you can afford a short let, a room or a hotel. Hotels are the obvious choice for rooms, but when staying for multiple nights this can prove a very expensive choice.

A number of companies, including Keatons, offer a range of short let options that work as a comfortable alternative to a hotel.

Short let apartments range from studios to 5+ bedroom period homes. Most short let apartments offer a range of amenities – they are similar to a hotel, but often don’t have the prominent city location. However, price per square footage is far more generous.

Finally, for individual rooms airbnb.com is also a good option; it’s essentially a collection of rooms that homeowners have made available and the website allows for an easy search depending on your criteria. Typically, the rooms available are located within the homeowners own dwelling and are available to rent out for short periods of time and on specific terms to the individual owner.
