Summarized
As we handpicked the listings from the relatively good located, average standard, and good-rated properties. We see from the list we made out of listings available for short-term rentals around in near proximity to Expo, the daily rate comes quite high for flexible dates. If you multiply daily rates to 30 times, a monthly cost goes up a minimum of 3 times higher than what one can pay for a monthly lease.
In brief, having the trip planned out well to choose whether to stay a long term (more than a month) or should stay on weekly basis would have different impacts financially. As we could witness the rental cost fluctuates quite differently based on the length, we may jump to a conclusion that long-term rental is preferable.
