My friend in Bangkok told me to always book a place for a week first, and I ignored it and got stuck in a terrible apartment for a month.
I signed a one-month lease in Medellin after a 15-minute video call, and the Wi-Fi cut out every afternoon, so I had to work from a cafe that charged $5 for a tiny coffee just to meet deadlines.

I used to book long stays right away to lock in a monthly rate. Your post is a perfect example of why that's a bad plan. Getting stuck with bad internet is a total deal breaker for remote work. That cafe price is brutal, too. I'm booking a short test stay first from now on. A week seems like the smart move to check the place out for real.
