I may need some furnished short term housing, like a month or two, while I figure some stuff out. Has anyone tried https://zeusliving.com/ or https://www.hellolanding.com? Source: over 1 year ago

I've used Zeus Living - I had no credit history, so they asked for a pay stub. They had awesome customer support, I highly recommend them! Source: about 2 years ago

You can try Zeus. It's somewhere between airbnb and traditional apartment, but requires 30-day minimum stay and you can stay for a year+. There is a background check component, but there's no mention of a credit check. Might be worth checking out. Source: about 2 years ago

I’ve used Zeus ( https://zeusliving.com ) before for a 3 month rental out in Santa Clara. Decently priced (with Covid discounts) and responsive support team. Source: almost 3 years ago
