Not bad and no minimum period, stayed in a couple of "budget" hotels my first couple of weeks and wouldn't recommend either.
If your going to rent a flat try and barter the rent down its surprising how many times you will get something knocked off or they will let for a shorter term for a bit more a month etc (or so a friend of mine tells me and he’s been doing this for years)

Yes that's the deal. It's the minimum term for an assured short term rental. I always rent it in the company name as well so there's no misunderstandings later on.
