I will go back to Taiwan for summer vacation from August 9 to August 29, so I will not be in Boston twenty days. I think I still pay the house rental during my summer vacation, but I will not use it. Therefore, I decide to sublease my room to someone who needs a short-term furnished accommodation.
At first, I have to set my price which is not higher than hotel price but not lower than my per-day rental. I found most rates of two-adult rooms in Boston are more 80 dollars, but the rates of hostels are around 60 dollars for two adults. After knowing the room prices, I have to focus what kind of groups will be my customers. Only businessmen and travelers need short-term furnished accommodation, but businessmen prefer to live at hotels because they do not pay by themselves. Only travelers, especially backpackers or free individual travelers, can I focus on. I wrote down every detail and information about my room on the website through which travelers find cheap accommodation, I also emphasized the location of my house is really perfect, just in front of subway station.
It happened even I expected, a lot of travelers want to rent my room. In order to make maximum profit I can have, I choose some travelers who will live longer than the travelers who want to live two or three days. Today I check all the days I want to rent to travelers, and only 3 days are not occupied. I also counted the money I will receive. The amounts of the money I will receive just cover my monthly house rental.
