Shortlets, asked and answered.
What is a shortlet?
A furnished place you rent by the day or week instead of paying a year upfront. In Nigeria it covers everything from a studio for a weekend to a whole duplex for a group.
Can I split a shortlet with friends?
Yes. Most shortlets price the whole place, so a group can share one and split the nightly rate. Agree the split before booking.
How do I avoid shortlet scams?
Chat with the host in the app, ask for a video walk-through, and never pay the full stay or a caution fee to someone you have not verified.
