A friend is going to spending the first few months of the year in Glasgow and is searching for accommodation. He is having difficulty finding somewhere, and we are grateful for any tips.

My friend is happy to do a houseshare or live on his own.

What sorts of websites do people use when searching for suitable short-term lodging in Glasgow? We have tried spareroom.co.uk and citylets. We have found that most people are very hesitant to consider lodgers for just three months, as they will have to restart their search in March.

Would it make sense to go through rightmove, even if the flats are normally advertised as long term?

Any ideas/contacts/hints are also welcomed via PM.

Many thanks!
