Of course, short-stay rentals aren’t ideal for everyone, especially if you’re an employer moving staff over for a long-term project. With that in mind, some companies offer longer-term rental services, with properties available for periods ranging from six months up to two years.
A long-term rental in the Netherlands should offer expats an even higher quality of life. Long-stay apartments are larger and more cozy. They offer a more pleasant experience for workers who are considering moving to the Netherlands for longer periods of time.
The best option for you in terms of accommodating your employees depends on the scale and time-frame of your project.
It’s important to remember that moving to a new country can be an overwhelming experience.
With this in mind, if you’re moving your staff to the Netherlands for a longer period, a spacious and furnished long-term let will make them feel considerably more comfortable in their new country than staying in a hotel.
