Probably not the most conventional topic, but to all incoming summer interns, is anyone using Blueground as a way to rent short-term studios?
I have heard pretty mixed reviews, some say it's the worst thing ever. Anyone used them? Are they reliable in the bigger cities like NYC/Boston etc?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, short-term rental options like Blueground can be a viable solution for summer interns, especially in cities like NYC or Boston. However, the general sentiment around such services tends to be mixed.
For context, the WSO forums highlight that the short-term rental market often caters to specific demographics, such as interns, traveling professionals, and temporary workers. While services like Blueground offer furnished apartments and flexible lease terms, they may come with higher costs compared to traditional sublets or Airbnbs. Additionally, some users have expressed concerns about reliability and customer service, which could vary by city and property.
If you're considering Blueground, it might be worth comparing it to other options like sublets, Airbnbs, or even university housing (if available). For NYC specifically, quieter neighborhoods like FiDi or areas in Manhattan could align with your preferences for a studio apartment. Always read reviews for the specific property you're considering and ensure the terms align with your needs.
