I'm here. Where are you?

When doing slow traveling, what are economical ways (short of a shared dorm in a hostel) of finding lodging for short-term stays (1 to 5 days) in Southern Europe?
Thanks!

Since the AirBNB model has been so downgraded in Spain, what are the best options for finding a short-term apartment rental (1 to 3 months) to do a test run to see if it might work as a retirement home. what are some options that won't break the bank? I'm thinking of Valencia, Asturias, and Andalucia as options.
Thanks!
