Tell the World Where You’d Spend ‘4 Months Together’

If you had the chance to go back to the city you once fell in love with, where would you choose?

Whether you dream of walking Seville’s orange tree-lined streets, discovering the bazaars of Istanbul, drinking coffee in Vienna or rolling in at dawn after a night out in Berlin, the world is your oyster – but you don’t always have to squeeze the experience into a week-long holiday.

Launching its ‘4 Months Together’ competition, mid to long-term rental specialist Spotahome is giving you the chance to uncover a city’s sights, sounds, food and culture by staying rent-free at one of its homes for four months.

Explaining more, brand and communications manager, Melissa Lyras, said:

“People today want to get to know a city inside and out, rather than simply passing through as a tourist. Our new competition celebrates the idea of immersing yourself in your favourite city, falling in love with it all over again.

“With no rent to pay for four months, you can do the things you’ve always wanted to do in a place that excites and inspires you, from working abroad and learning a new language, to making friends through volunteering, or simply exploring the best neighbourhood restaurants and markets.

“Technology gives us the freedom to live and work wherever we are in the world, so why not change your surroundings every so often? This is a perfect opportunity for anyone planning an Erasmus trip or exchange to secure a place to stay in their chosen destination.”

Spotahome has a growing list of homes across Europe and beyond, from Granada and Valencia to Warsaw and Budapest, as well as Istanbul and Dubai.

Berlin is the most popular choice among the younger generation because of its culture and low unemployment rate. Spanish cities are also a big draw, with properties in Valencia and Barcelona receiving the most bookings from this group.

To take part in the competition, simply upload your photo or video to www.rent.spotahome.com/4-months-together, demonstrating how far you would go to win 4 months rent free in your dream city.
