Apartment building homestay
An apartment building was a form of accommodation that transformed an apartment into a homestay. From a business perspective, the location was crucial. For example, some apartments and homestays were opened in places that seemed lively but had unstable tourist traffic, so business was not good. However, places that were close to famous attractions and had convenient transportation (such as close to the subway) would have more customers. In terms of decoration, they could create a variety of styles to meet the preferences of different guests. From bedding to decorations, they were carefully selected and paid attention to details. Service was also crucial. They had to deal with the problems encountered by the guests in a timely manner, such as taking care of the guests when they slipped in the bathroom. At the same time, they paid attention to marketing and promotion. They carefully took care of the major booking platforms, including taking beautiful photos, writing attractive introductions, and seriously replying to customer reviews. They could also use social media to share interesting stories and good reviews to attract customers. In addition, the interaction with the guests could not be ignored. Understand the needs of the guests in advance and prepare small surprises. When the guests left, they would send local souvenirs. In terms of price and cost-performance ratio, the price difference was quite large. For example, some three-bedroom apartments were close to the airport and safari parks, with convenient transportation and complete surrounding facilities, but the price was affordable (three-bedroom rent 200 yuan), while some apartments might cost 1743 yuan for two nights (including cleaning fees and service fees). In terms of policies, in 2015, the State Council issued relevant guidance to define short-term rental as a living service industry and gave policy encouragement, promoting the rapid development of the short-term rental industry, including apartment buildings and homestays. During this period, enterprises also carried out merger and acquisition integration, and some enterprises obtained financing to become unicorn enterprises.
The apartment handles the homestay
In China, there was a series of procedures to apply for an apartment. First of all, he had to go to the local industrial and commercial bureau to apply for a homestay business license, and then go to the local public security bureau to apply for a homestay business license. The homestay had to establish strict rules and regulations for the registration of visitors and valuables. Before opening for business, professional training was required for the employees, and they had to go to the local fire brigade to handle fire-related procedures. It should be noted that residential houses could not apply for a business license for accommodation business. According to the relevant regulations, the owner must not violate the laws and regulations and management regulations to change the residence into a business house. If the residence was to be changed into a business house, in addition to abiding by the laws and regulations and management regulations, it must be unanimously agreed by the interested owners. In addition, the change of the use of the house must be applied to the urban and rural planning department and the land department in accordance with the relevant regulations. At the same time, it must comply with the provisions of other relevant laws and regulations and the agreement of the management agreement. In South Korea, the lodging industry must be registered in accordance with the Public Health Management Act, the urban homestay industry or the Korean house experience industry that serves foreign tourists must be registered in accordance with the sightseeing promotion act, and the farming and fishing village accommodation industry must be registered in accordance with the farming and fishing village preparation act. However, as an apartment was used as a living space for individuals or small groups of people, it did not conform to the concept of "accommodation facilities for the purpose of use by the majority" in the Public Health Management Law. Therefore, homestays registered for the lodging industry must be opened in buildings that could be used as hotels. Places that were usually used for living could not be used as homestays. If you run a homestay without registering your lodging business, you will be sentenced to imprisonment for up to two years or a fine of up to 20 million won. However, because the law does not have any provisions to pursue or confiscate illegal gains, the fine may be lower than the income of the homestay. Therefore, some Koreans are willing to be punished to continue operating, but foreigners may face immigration effects after being punished.
Apartment-type homestay
An apartment-type homestay was a type of homestay. It might have been converted from an apartment, rented, and tidied up for business. Compared with traditional homestays, it might be more similar to daily rental houses. In terms of price, some apartment-type homestays were relatively cheap. For example, some apartment-type homestays in Weihai might cost half of the hotel's price, but there were also cases where the price was higher. For example, an apartment-type homestay in Budapesti cost 1743 yuan for two nights (including cleaning fees and platform service fees), and an apartment-type homestay in Tianya Town in Tianya could be booked for 30 yuan a day in May. From the service point of view, some apartment-type homestays were equipped with reception and regular room cleaning similar to hotels, while others adopted a self-service check-in mode without meeting the landlord. In terms of features, some apartment-type homestays had unique views. For example, some had excellent views of St. Stephen's Cathedral, while others had views facing the sea. The room size might be larger, and the room layout might be artistic. In terms of operation, there were one-stop service management solution suppliers like Sujia B & B. From the early design and transformation to the later operation and service, they provided one-stop all-round operation management with overall standards, specialization, and branding. They were committed to creating a new model of large-scale operation projects for B & B. The goal was to create a domestic high-quality accommodation brand and provide warm and high-quality B & B services.

The police initially planned to classify it as suicide, but the three main characters in the play, Mabel on the 12th floor, Oliver on the 10th floor, and Charles on the 14th floor, thought it was murder and that the murderer might be a resident of the apartment. However, the plot did not clearly indicate who the murderer was.
