Since its launch in 2008, rental companies like Airbnb have transformed the way we travel, making finding a home away from home easier than ever. Now more than 15 years later, things are about to change once again.
The provincial government is expected to ban the short-term rentals popularized by Airbnb this spring. Many Airbnb properties are expected to be pulled from the market as a result, leaving travelers, local workers, and students wondering exactly where and how they’ll be able to find their next place to stay.
Established well before the trend of rental apps, B.C. based company BPM Home Rentals has specialized in mid-term and long-term furnished rentals in Prince George, offering guests of all varieties fully furnished apartments nestled amongst the city’s key amenities and picturesque natural charm.
Centrally located and within walking distance from the hospital and downtown, BPM’s rental units are particularly convenient for students or travelers who are in town to work at the hospital or receive medical care. “We want to offer workers coming into the area peace-of-mind accommodations at fair market rates,” says BPM Home Rentals owner Brent Murphy. “A nurse may come up for several months, they don’t want to go into a hotel where they don’t have a full kitchen, that doesn’t feel like a home”. The company’s regular clientele includes everyone from corporate professionals to those displaced by insurance issues (house fire or flood), homeowners going through renovations, or those simply looking to get away.
With roots of working and investing in Prince George for more than 20 years, BPM aims to offer visitors a clean, comfortable, fully furnished suite that is complete with a kitchen and laundry. When you rent from BPM you’re not renting someone else’s home, or sharing their space, you’re staying in a professionally managed rental property, owned, managed, and operated by a team right here in B.C.
The fully furnished units range from affordable bachelor suites to robust two bedroom units that sleep up to four. With short-term restrictions expected to take effect in May, BPM Home Rental will be offering lease terms of three months to one year with the option to extend.
By renting within the heart of Prince George, guests will also have easy access to the bars and restaurants of the city centre, as well as the city’s renowned parks and recreational outdoor activities. While work may bring many visitors to Prince George, it’s the community and culture that makes them stay.
No matter what brings you to Prince George, BPM Home Rentals’ fully-furnished and well-arranged suites will make you feel at home thanks to a range of amenities appointed with your comfort in mind.
