short-term stay
Quick visit somewhere
A short-term stay is a temporary residence lasting days or weeks rather than months or years.
The phrase appears most often in housing contexts—vacation rentals, hospital admissions, or visa categories: The apartment is available for short-term stays only.
What counts as short-term varies by context; a hotel stay of three nights and a furnished rental of three months might both qualify.
