A furnished home for as long as the assignment runs — 29 nights to eleven months — with a real desk, reliable wifi, and the same inspection standard in every destination.
Work assignments
Because the standard does not move when the assignment does. Every MidStays home in every destination is inspected by a local property manager against its own listing before you arrive, so the third home you book feels as reliable as the first. Furnished throughout, full kitchen, in-home laundry, wifi, 29 nights to eleven months.
This is one person booking one home. If you are a consultant on an eleven-month project, an engineer on a commissioning job, or someone relocating ahead of a home purchase, you search, you choose, and you deal with one local manager for the whole stay. Tell us what you need and we will help you find it.
An honest limit: the shortest stay on MidStays is 29 nights. If your assignment is two weeks, this is not the right tool. If it is three months and might become five, it is exactly the right one.
Every home is inspected by a local manager before you arrive. The photos are the home.
A real person in your assignment destination stands behind your home — before your stay and at 9pm on day 40.
Work and live
An assignment home has to do two jobs: be somewhere you can work and somewhere you can live for months. Every MidStays home is furnished, has a full kitchen and in-home laundry, and is inspected by a local manager. These six things are what assignment travelers ask about first.
A desk and a chair, not a kitchen counter and a dining stool. Many homes offer a dedicated home office or a proper work area — each listing shows what is there, and your local manager can confirm the setup before you book.
Every MidStays home includes wifi. If your day runs on video calls, ask your local manager about the connection at that specific home before you book rather than discovering it on Monday morning.
One inspection standard across all 17 destinations. A local property manager checks each home against its own listing before arrival — kitchen, laundry, wifi, parking, the condition of every room. Book in Scottsdale or Santa Barbara and the check is the same.
Projects slip. Stays run 29 nights to eleven months, and whether you can extend depends on whether the home is booked after your dates. Ask your local manager early and you will get a straight answer.
Your local property manager handles the home before, during, and after your stay. Not a rotating queue — the person who inspected the home is the person you reach when the dishwasher stops draining on a Sunday.
If you have ever run a long project out of a hotel room, you already know how this table ends. Here is how a MidStays home compares with the other three ways people house a multi-month assignment, judged on month three rather than night one. There is more detail in what is included in every MidStays home and in how MidStays pricing and quotes work.
| For a stay of a month or more | MidStays | Extended-stay hotel | 12-month lease | Monthly Airbnb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full kitchen | Yes — full-size range, fridge, dishwasher, cookware | Kitchenette at best | Yes, but unfurnished | Varies by host |
| In-home laundry | Yes — washer and dryer in the home | Shared coin laundry | Sometimes | Varies by host |
| Furnished | Fully — move in with two suitcases | Yes, institutionally | No — buy it and dump it | Usually |
| Inspected before arrival | Yes — by a local manager | Housekeeping standard | You inspect it | No |
| Someone answers at 9pm on day 40 | Yes — your local manager | Front desk | Landlord, eventually | Often no one |
| Commitment | 29 nights to 11 months | Nightly, priced up over time | 12 months | Host's discretion |
Useful before you book an assignment stay: how MidStays homes are verified and inspected, how to extend when a project runs long, and what arrival day looks like. Destinations people search most for work stays: furnished monthly homes in Scottsdale, temporary housing in Phoenix, and extended stays in Orange County.
How it works
Enter where the work is and how long you expect to be there. Stays run from 29 nights to eleven months, so a three-month project or a five-month relocation window fits inside a single booking.
Many homes offer a dedicated home office or work area, and each listing shows what is there along with the kitchen, in-home laundry, parking as configured, and the pet policy. Filter for a desk if you need one.
Your quote shows the rent for your dates plus any fees, deposits, and taxes configured by that property, and utilities and any applicable fees are shown on each home's listing and in your quote before you book.
Before your arrival date, a local property manager walks that specific home against its listing — the kitchen, the washer and dryer, the wifi, the parking, the condition of every room. That inspection is what verified means on MidStays, in every destination.
You arrive to a professionally cleaned home with linens, towels, and starter essentials in place. If the assignment runs longer, tell your local manager early and they will tell you whether that home is free.
Destinations
MidStays lists verified furnished homes in 17 destinations across Arizona and California, and the inspection standard is identical in all of them. Plan around the season, though: a summer assignment in Phoenix or Tucson means months of extreme desert heat, and a winter one in Flagstaff or the White Mountains means real snow on the commute.

Every review below is from a completed stay of 29 nights or longer in a MidStays-listed home. The length on each card is the booking's actual length, not an estimate.
“The place had everything needed for a long stay, making it feel just like home. The host was quick to answer any questions the whole time. The neighborhood was safe, quiet, and close to everything required for daily life. This is a top choice for anyone needing a long-term stay in the area.”
“We had a wonderful stay. Many guests were snowbirds and it was so nice to socialize with people from all over! The local residents were so friendly and helpful! We hope to visit again.”
“Everything about our stay at this home was great! The home itself, the amenities, the location and the communication with the owner was the best. Thank you for a fabulous 3 months!”
“We had a wonderful time staying in this home. It is truly lovely. The location is wonderful and although we do not golf, we enjoyed daily walks in this beautiful neighborhood. It is an outstanding, well furnished and well managed property.”
“We booked this condo for two months. We were very happy with the location and the size of the condo. We’re also very happy with the level of communication from management. I was able to have a contact person at all times.”
“My wife and I stayed for two months and it was such a great place to get away from the Michigan winter! Thoroughly enjoyed the pool almost every day. Bed was super comfortable and everything was exactly as described.”
“This townhome was in a very nice and quiet neighborhood and we rented it for one month as we had a work project near by. The pool was also nice and clean. We felt safe in the gated community and would highly recommend.”
“My family and I stayed for an entire month and it felt like the most relaxing month we have had. The house is well lit, amazingly stocked and organized — and honestly, the pictures do not do it justice. We made this place our home and felt comfortable every single day we were there.”
“We stayed at the home for one month and overall had a great experience. The property is beautiful, spacious, and very well suited for a longer stay. The property management team was responsive whenever issues came up and communication was generally timely throughout the stay.”
Not in the traditional sense. People search for corporate housing in a city and land here, and the practical answer is yes — MidStays lists furnished monthly homes for work assignments. What it is not is a program: you book the home yourself, one person and one home, for 29 nights up to eleven months.
Individuals on assignment. Consultants on a project, engineers on a commissioning job, clinicians, contractors, and people relocating ahead of a home purchase. You search, you choose the home, and you deal with one local manager for the whole stay.
From 29 nights to eleven months. The 29-night minimum applies site-wide, always. Most assignment bookings run three to five months in a single home, which is exactly the range MidStays is built around.
Verified furnished homes across 17 destinations in Arizona and California, from 29 nights to eleven months. A real desk, in-home laundry, and one local manager.
Find My StayEvery MidStays home has a full-size range, refrigerator, dishwasher, cookware, dishes, and a washer and dryer in the home. Three months in, eating out every night has stopped being a perk.

It varies by home. Many homes offer a dedicated home office or a proper work area, and each listing shows what is there. If you need a real desk rather than a dining table, filter for it and confirm the setup with your local manager before you book.
That is the whole point of verified. In all 17 destinations, a local property manager inspects the home against its own listing before you arrive — the kitchen, the washer and dryer, the wifi, the parking, the condition of every room. The check does not get looser in a smaller destination.
Often, yes. It depends on whether that home is already booked after your dates. Tell your local manager as soon as you suspect an extension and they will tell you whether the home is free or help you find another verified home in the same destination.
Utilities and any applicable fees are shown on each home's listing and in your quote before you book. Read that part carefully — across a multi-month stay the utility arrangement is one of the bigger differences between two similar-looking homes.
Furnished throughout — living room, dining, real bedrooms with real beds, a full kitchen with a full-size range, refrigerator, dishwasher, cookware, dishes and utensils, in-home laundry, linens, towels, starter household essentials, and wifi. Professionally cleaned before you arrive.
You contact your local property manager — the same person who inspected the home before you arrived. They are in the area and can be at the property. That is a materially different thing from messaging a host who may be in another state.
No. The minimum stay is 29 nights, site-wide. MidStays is built for one to eleven months; for a shorter trip a hotel is genuinely the better tool, and we would rather say that than take the booking.
A booking confirmation and an itemized quote showing rent, fees, deposits, and taxes for your dates. Keep both. If you need anything else in writing, ask your local manager early rather than after you check out.
