You can search for listings that allow stays of 28+ nights (most offer a discount ranging from 5% to 45%) and filter for “entire homes,” “pets welcome,” and “go near.” To find a place with personal character and amenities like a fully stocked kitchen, Wi-Fi, and washer and dryer, also filter for Airbnb Plus.
