you keep saying hotel, and i am pointing out the options include units that are not in inventory.

in inventory, there are still more options than you seem to be recognizing.

i agree with you re decor, below the billionaire level. at that level, top bookable accommodations, anywhere from $5K to $50K, hotels are pretty willing to do things. i cant make generalizations below that level for short term.

but as i mentioned, there are condohotels (or coop in NY) where there is no min lease, and some owners do not buy furniture package or use hotel rental program, preferring to rent themselves. this would include unfurnished units they would like to rent long term. but one might be able to negotiate shorter stays. i dont know much about rental furniture, but one could also buy/sell, or have someone (maybe even hotel real estate company - for a fee) handle that for them.
I don't understand what we're arguing about anymore. I wouldn't want to live the lifestyle of the person in the quoted text, which was the question. You keep trying to change the goalposts and suggest that living in a hotel-apartment counts as a hotel. The whole point of the article is that this man doesn't stay in one place for long, indeed he is only in one place for a "short period of time." Would I enjoy that life? Not at all.
