Is an Airbnb for office space in London the right choice?

If you’ve rented Airbnbs in the past as your lodging for vacations or other travel, you might think that an Airbnb for office space in London could be a useful option. But as understandable as that might be, Airbnb actually isn’t the optimal platform for these purposes.

Unlike Peerspace, Airbnb isn’t designed to connect you with short-term, hourly rentals like those you might be seeking to act as temporary office space.

For starters, an office space should have basic amenities like a kitchen to prepare beverages and store food, A/V equipment like a TV/projector and a phone designed for conference calls, and so forth.

It should also have enough desks and other furniture to accommodate as many people as you’ll be meeting and/or working within the space, which an Airbnb designed for lodging probably won’t have.

Some Airbnb hosts might not even allow you to use their listing as office space since it’s probably not what they designed it for.

Now that you know Airbnb isn’t the right fit for the purposes of locating temporary office space – what should you be using instead?

The answer is Peerspace.

Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for short-term rentals of all kinds of spaces, including but not limited to office space. In London alone, there are hundreds of office spaces for rent through Peerspace, giving you a wealth of options to choose from.

Even better, although there are lots of Peerspace listings to sort through in the London area, the Peerspace search tool makes this process surprisingly easy.

You can narrow your search down based on filters like:

  • Hourly rate
  • The number of attendees
  • Keywords in the listing
  • Interior and outdoor spaces
  • The space’s style
  • Included amenities
  • Availability of instant booking
  • And more!

These can save you considerable time and effort as you browse individual listings to choose the perfect office space.

Once you’ve narrowed down your search results, it’s time to decide which office space would suit your needs. To make the decision-making process as informed as possible, every Peerspace listing includes detailed descriptions of the space written by its host and high-resolution photos, as well as contact info for the host if you need to reach out with any questions or requests.

Many listings also come with reviews from past renters, so you will know exactly what to expect before you decide to rent the space.

To quote one reviewer, who held a team meeting here: “Fantastic space for a team meeting. Very clean and stylish with plenty of amenities. Kate and Craig were wonderful hosts and very responsive. Everyone raved about how good the venue was and we look forward to returning soon.”
