Foreword
First of all, do you know the difference between homestay and apartment? B&Bs: B&Bs abroad are mostly made of wood, the room facilities are relatively simple, and the ownership is personal to the landlord. Everything needs to be negotiated with the landlord. B&Bs usually have no property management fees, and there are many rooms. The rent for a few people will be very cheap, and because it is the landlord’s own house, the lease is more flexible in all aspects. However, there is no fixed property company for the homestay. If there are problems with electrical appliances and sanitation, it is necessary to negotiate with the landlord for repairs, which is troublesome. If directly facing the street, the safety issues in some areas are worth worrying about. Apartments: Usually the entire building is managed and rented by a unified management company. There are a variety of room types to choose from, and public facilities are generally more complete. The more upscale apartments will also have doormen, gyms, open-air rooftops, and public meeting rooms. This type of Apt has high security. Most apartments will have an access control system, and the management is formal. Most apartments have a dedicated property company to manage and maintain the facilities and sanitation of the entire building. The application process is usually the most formal, and your neighbors will go through a rigorous review process without worrying about mixed tenants.
If you plan to rent a homestay, then you need to pay attention to these things: 1. Everything needs to be negotiated with the landlord. If you encounter a bad landlord, your living experience will be very poor! 2. In terms of facilities, the homestay generally does not have the community facilities as perfect as apartments, and some houses will be as old as mentioned earlier, and there will be many security risks. 3. Some old-fashioned residential buildings have very poor sound insulation, especially when they are rented together by multiple people. In addition, if you rent a homestay, the identity background of your neighbors will be very uncertain. 4. Although the rent of the homestay is cheap, in winter you need to pay additional heating fees and other miscellaneous expenses. 5. The homestay is usually in the suburbs or suburbs of the city, and the transportation is not convenient, especially for those students who need to take early classes.

Types of student apartments
1.En-suite Room
Suites, that is, everyone has their own room, and each room has its own independent toilet and shower room. Usually 4-8 En-suite Room together, called Cluster Flat or Flat. Each Flat has a common door, sharing a living room, kitchen, etc. This is the most commonly chosen type of accommodation, with prices ranging from £80-120 per week depending on the school and area.
2.Twin Room/Shared Room
Double rooms, that is, two people share a bedroom, if you don’t mind privacy, consider this room type. Generally speaking, double rooms are the cheapest of all room types.
3.Studio Room
Generally referred to as a single suite or a single apartment, it provides facilities such as a bed, desk, wardrobe, toilet, bathroom, and kitchen. In some places, deluxe Studio (large single suite) can be provided for two people (usually couples) to live together. The difference between this and the En-suite Room is that the suite comes with its own kitchen and does not need to be shared with others. Of course, the price is more expensive than En-suite.
4.One Bedroom Flat
The difference between a one-bedroom apartment and Studio is that the kitchen and bedroom are separated by walls, so there is no worry about the fumes affecting the bedroom, but the price will be a little higher than Studio.
our suggestion
Wanjia also suggested that the student apartment can be rented with rent. According to the relevant case, there is a very successful businessman in the local residential and commercial property investment experience. Recently, he purchased Studio for rental in the same high-rise residential property in Melbourne. Ideally, his annual rate of return is 6.9%. So he bought two studios so that he could have a stable income without having to invest his whole life in other people’s projects and then go to receive pensions. Moreover, if these houses are not rented, they can also be used as children’s For the next generation.
For homestays, apart from designers and a few tourism and hotel employees, a large number of homestay owners were originally laymen. At first, only driven by feelings, he stepped into this strange field. But the homestay is small and has all the internal organs, from planning, site selection, design, construction, decoration to operation, involving all aspects. It is inevitable that there will be a wrong trip, leaving regrets.
Ideally, the double bed room is more comfortable. After the operation, the standard room is more practical, because there are many guests in the family of three; originally thought that the dry landscape has an artistic conception, it was found that the Chinese garden and the Hui style building were more compatible. Pursuing a sense of design has brought inconvenience to operations; the configuration speaks of luxury, which increases operating pressure but does not significantly improve the customer experience. “Being a homestay is a process of continuous trial and error,” Ji Xiaoxiang said. It can’t be completely avoided, but it can be less, and try not to make mistakes that are difficult to repair. In this issue, we have invited some homestays to talk about their personal experiences in the past, and hope that these “overcoming” experiences can give you a little inspiration for those who are about to enter the homestay industry.
