Why don't you do contracts for less than 3 months?Colmeia's proposal is to provide the experience of a home, where people get to know each other, make friends and spend time together regularly. If the length of stay is too short, this feeling of familiarity is lost, leaving the house with a hostel profile, which is not the profile of our business.
