The Operating System for Extended Staysestaie is the easiest way to book a furnished home for a month, a few months or a full year. From serviced apartments and furnished apartments to long-stay hotel rooms, estaie gives you one all-in monthly price for any stay from 15 nights to 12 months, bookable in five minutes.Longer than a holiday. Shorter than a lease.The problem with long stays today<ul><li>Hotels price by the night, and the rate never drops however long you stay.</li><li>Booking sites stop at 90 nights.</li><li>Leases lock you into 12 unfurnished months, with deposits, credit checks and furniture to buy.</li><li>Monthly rates exist, but hotels keep them in PDFs and sales inboxes, so finding a fair price means days of calls and emails.</li></ul>How estaie works<ol><li>Search by the month: choose your city and how long you’re staying, from two weeks to a year.</li><li>See one all-in monthly price: rent, bills and fees included, with no booking fees and no surprises at checkout.</li><li>Book in five minutes: one payment, with instant confirmation on eligible stays.</li><li>Move in the same day: fully furnished, verified homes, ready to live in.</li></ol>Why estaie costs less estaie’s patent-pending AI Pricing Brain reads more than 1,200 data points per stay, including seasonality, demand, length of stay and competitor rates, and calculates one fair monthly price from the hotel’s own monthly rates. It’s lower for you and higher for the hotel, because it fills rooms that would otherwise sit empty.Real examples:<ul><li>The same room for the same 30 nights at Ibis Al Barsha, Dubai: AED 9,702 on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="http://Booking.com">Booking.com</a>, AED 7,490 on estaie.</li><li>A furnished studio for one year: AED 54,000 on estaie, versus AED 89,150 for an unfurnished annual lease once you add furniture, utilities, and extras. That’s AED 35,150 saved, with AED 4,500 to move in instead of AED 51,750.</li></ul>Who estaie is for<ul><li>Professionals relocating for a new job</li><li>Project and contract workers on assignments of a few months</li><li>Digital nomads and remote workers</li><li>Students, interns and academics away for a term or a year</li><li>Families between homes, during a move or renovation</li></ul>Corporate housing and employee relocation estaie makes corporate housing simple.
