Has anyone tried to rent their unit hourly?

Hi everyone. I am looking to rent my unit hourly say for 3 hours and more. Has anyone ever tired it and is it worth it ? I have rented for 4-5 hours before

@Afiqa11 The system doesn't allow this and I would suspect it might attract the wrong clientele!

But dont you think there is an oversupply of short term rental?

You can't do this via Airbnb they need to book by the night @Afiqa11 


what sort of guests are you trying to attract with these very short stays @Afiqa11

In some areas of course @Afiqa11  that doesn't address my points which  are

 

1. What type of guest do you hope to attract for an hourly stay? 

:2. Minimum stay is one night on Airbnb

 

in any case you're not a host so a little confused by your post 

actually I am a host.  But, I would like to solve a problem in this market. I see  host competing with each other with their prices. The supply is more than demand when it comes to the prices. But, the demand for low prices are still there in which we host can give hourly rental. It could be just a place to rest or others. 

 

May I know what problems do you face ?

i feel like you would either get guests who need a short term work space for the day so you would have to provide a nice office space with these type of amenities. Or you may get guests who need a quick sleep before hitting the road again, or you're going to get guests who just need a place to romp if you know what I mean LOL .
