Thank you, come again!

Furnished Rentals is a place for both: A) hosts of furnished accommodations and B) travelers who patronize furnished rentals as an alternative to hotel stays; to comment on the industry and their own personal experiences.

My name is Barney Moran, and I am a partner at Alpine Corporate Accommodations, providing furnished accommodations to guests initially in Boulder, CO, and now Manhattan, NY. I had no idea this industry existed until the late 1990's, when my wife and I went to contract for a one bedroom condo in Boulder, CO, from a Seller named Craig Hooper. Mr. Hooper was including the furniture in the sale of the condo, though we had not asked for it, but at the closing we met his manager, a lovely and experienced fellow Ritch White, who has managed Mr. Hooper's furnished units and others in Boulder for Decades, and works with us now as well.

Thus began our journey from a typical landlord to providing shorter term experienced & savvy travelers with this economical alternative to hotels when one needs to stay in an area for (usually) more then 30 days. We have learned a considerable amount in our over a decade in this industry, but we expect there are others with good advice for both hosts and guests in this industry, and we love the blog platform to help get this information to the world community.
