We don't want multiple tenants over the span of a few months, but rather a renter that needs it for the entire 3-4 month duration.
I assume Airbnb is the best option for that, or do people use other services? Any experiences?

I did for 3 months, furnished.
Posted it everywhere, except Airbnb (condo does not allow it at all, even with 1mo plus).
95% spam/window shoppers.
I think I had it up for 2 months before someone took it, from my experience people book a month in advance, at earliest. A couple that were in Manitoba had their friends view it, then my friend gave them the keys a few days after I left.
With that said, the lower your price, the higher chance of multiple applications, and those applications being early.
I moved all my shit into the "den" and installed a separate lock on it.
If you need to, take a 3 months application, at least that will cover 75% of the 4 months.
Came back to my unit 3 months later cleaner than I left it.
On a side note, my landlord was cock about it, tried to put a bunch of rules on me and I told him nope to every single one. Including I'm responsible for all appliance for the duration, wanted an extra xxx$/mo, etc. Eventually he folded, and let me rent it.
I gotta go through this again in a few months, inB4 he pulls the "I'm selling the unit" card on me lol
