Homestays were usually run by individuals or small businesses, and their main business was to rent houses and provide basic accommodation services. The homestay would provide additional services such as dining services, tourism consultation, and tourism activities planning. At the same time, it would also provide a comfortable and warm living environment and special decoration to make the guests feel at home. The family apartments were operated under the name of the residential owners. They had short-term rental, family-style accommodation, and other forms of housing. Some of them had their own kitchen and bathroom, suitable for long-distance travel or family travel.

Apartments and homestays had the potential to make money, but they were affected by many factors. From the perspective of profit model, the core was to rent houses. The rent was collected according to the short-term rental cycle, and the price could be adjusted according to the peak season to increase income. In addition, value-added services such as providing breakfast, laundry, pick-up, etc. can also charge additional fees, and after the new crown epidemic, can also explore the conversion of housing into domestic long-term rental, remote office and other diverse services to profit. If the apartment was located in a prosperous area and had complete facilities, it could provide high-quality accommodation services, and the rent could be higher, thus increasing the level of profit. However, there are also some challenges to realize profits. For example, the current homestay industry has problems such as imbalance in pricing and service, mismatched goods, lack of integrity, poor enforcement and supervision of rules, poor service attitude of some operators, etc., all of which will affect the profits of homestays. Moreover, although the reputation of the entire homestay industry had improved, it still needed to work hard, and consumer confidence also needed to be rebuilt. However, some high-end and influential homestays were still difficult to find even when the market was cold. This showed that branding, chain operations, and the provision of high-standard products and services could help improve the competitiveness of homestays.
There were some architectural differences between the northern and southern homestays. The northern homestays focused on sunlight because the terrain in the north was higher and could provide higher comfort. The sunlight from the north could provide a higher level of comfort for the residents and could shape the shadows and contours of the building. The southern homestays paid more attention to ventilation because the climate in the south was hot and humid, and they needed better ventilation conditions. The architectural style of southern homestays was usually light and transparent. The color of the facade was mainly light, and the material was mainly made of wood and steel. In addition, the space of the northern homestay was usually small because heating was needed in winter, while the space of the southern homestay could be flexibly adjusted without considering the heating problem. In general, the difference in architectural design between the north and south was mainly reflected in the emphasis on sunlight and ventilation, as well as the difference in space size.

There were many restrictions and requirements for a residential building to be used as a homestay. According to the regulations of some regions, if one wanted to set up a homestay, the self-built house could not exceed four floors, the building area could not exceed 800 square meters, and the number of rooms could not exceed 14. In addition, they had to go to the security inspection department of the safe housing department to carry out the safety assessment and appraisal of the house. After the assessment was passed, they had to report to the local public security organ, legally apply for a special industry license, and at the same time install the lithium battery industry management system and live in the public security management system. However, in reality, there were many residential buildings that opened for business without going through any formalities or filing. This not only disturbed the normal lives of other owners, but also had hidden dangers of public security and fire protection. In addition, the online booking platform has a low entry threshold for residential buildings and residential accommodation, and there are blind spots in the supervision of departments. This industry urgently needs to be regulated. Therefore, it could not be said that a residential building could be used as a homestay. It had to meet a variety of conditions and comply with the relevant regulations.
