I am going in a German city (Ulm) from October till December. "As the time frame will only be 3 months – I suggest to find accommodation on a business travel basis."
What does this mean? I have never lived in Germany before. I mean now that I am going to search for accommodation (in immobilienscout for example), what different should I do from when searching for longer-term accommodation?
Edit: This is advice from the HR. I am Greek, a European citizen. Purpose is to work on a project there. Budget: as much as it needs. Research: Found the site I mentioned above. Question: Business travel basis accommodation? <- what does it mean?

Is this a quote from a website or advice from a contact? You may get a better answer if you provide more information eg your nationality, the purpose of your visit, your budget, the research you’ve done up to now and a specific question arising from that

It's hard to understand, but it sounds like you are being advised to search for corporate apartments rather than a normal rental arrangement.

@Calchas "corporate apartments", yes that's sound correct! So instead of searching the internet for "accommodation in Ulm", I should search for "corporate apartments in Ulm", right? If yes, then I think you should post an answer (I updated my question with further information BTW).

For me, it would mean using the same rules you would apply for regular business travel (I.e. hotels). However for 3 months that does seem a bit expensive, I would opt at least for serviced apartments (also known as “apparthotelsâ€Â), which are somewhere in between regular hotels and short term lettings, or a short term furnished rental. Of course, they definitely exclude you entering into a long term lease, moving or buying furniture, etc. The specifics will probably vary based on whether you will be there the full time or go back and forth.

Honestly, the only person that can tell you what they mean by "on a business travel basis" is the person who said this. You can already see this here, where one person says it means "not a hotel" and another person says it means "what you would normally do on a business trip, i.e. a hotel".

The phrase in question very simply means that you should seek a
"corporate apartment"
"long-term holiday accommodation"
"holiday flat"
"serviced apartments"
rather than
- a hotel
That's all they mean.
Using something like "homeaway.com" (by far the largest, they bought-out all their competitors), it's very easy to find "long-term rentals".

Monteurzimmer is also a common term for flats for people on a work-party-sleep schedule.
