Experience with month plus furnished rentals?

[Laura Dalla]

I'm purchasing a small duplex in a tourist city which has been hit hard by COVID. One side of the duplex will be rented to full time tenants and I'm considering making the second available on AirBnB or a similar platform for periods of 30 days or more (the goals is to give myself some flexibility to use the unit myself throughout the year while bringing in close to what I would with a full time tenant). Besides tourism, there are nearby hospitals and universities to (possibly) drive some demand for this type of housing...

Has anyone had success (or failure) with a listing that only allowed guests to book for periods of 30 days or more? If so, who was your customer? How much demand did you have? What platforms did you advertise on?

I have experience in both long term and short term rentals, but not "mid-term" would love to hear about any experience in this market. 

For context this duplex is located in a safe/desirable area but the apartments are small and suited for one or two people as opposed to a family.
