Long Term Rentals versus Hotels

[christianpfc]

...but it won’t be a hotel, with all the daily cleaning and bed making interruptions.

I need room service only every few days. I would hang the sign "do not disturb" outside my door. Actually I'm staying in cheap places that don't have such a sign, but do room service only on request.

Before Covid, I used to spend about 9 months of the year in Thailand and kept renting a room throughout the year. I did put my stuff in storage for absence of 5 months twice, but find it too much trouble for my soul and body (pack and carry to nearby place all my own) to warrant the saving in money.
