Judging by the opinion of a lot of foreigners (tourists or business men), short term rental apartments option is way better than a hotel room. First of all you will benefit from a generously, elegant space with all the facilities you need (fridge, microwaves, washing machine or laundry service, etc) usually situated in a very select area, and not at the last, you will get a very high level of discretion.
The apartment alternative will give you the possibility to get rid of the door-keepers, receptionists and chamber-maids quick-moving eye, but especially their perpetuate and pert in anticipation of being reward with a tip.
If you are about having fun during your stay in Romania close to the presence of one or more escorts, then certainly the short term rental is the most indicate alternative.
To bear in mind, that in wishing to promote their own escorts (expensive and with much too professional air), the receptionists or even the door-keepers of some hotels practice relative restrictive politics concerning the step in of your visitors (especially if they are women). From the solicitation of the IDs to insinuating or obscene questions, they use every means to make heavy the access or just setting up a discomfort or even humiliation feeling of the escorts coming 'from outside'. But this is another discussion about you can find some details on the page dedicated to escorts selection.
The thing you must keep in mind is that when you will book trough internet or telephone a short term rental apartment, this measure needs prudence and circumspection.
The most frequent inconvenient you will meet when you rent a short term apartment is the irresponsibility of the firm or person taking care of this business. Precisely owing to the big request in this real segment, enterprising seem to practice a sort of subtle swindle in front of it the many 'baits' don't have much to do.
What it's all about? Generally, the desirous of this type of apartments (especially foreigners like you) are browsing on the internet and of course they find very easy websites offering the image of some apartments furnished with taste after the last in matter trend. The next is to make a phone call or send an e-mail and pretty soon and you seem to have a deal. In one of the biggest cities of Romania a dream apartment awaits for you.
With the only difference that once arrived at the destination you will come up against the agent apologizing millions of times and say (for example) that the apartment you saw on the internet was flooded by the neighbors, and now workers fix the problem up (probably will take about 2 weeks). Another invocated excuse could be also the obstinacy of another foreigner (usually originally from your country, making it hard for you to comment over a conational) who changed his mind and refuses to leave the apartment extending the contract for an indefinite period.
Once you are tired, not familiar with the city and wishing for a hot bath as soon as possible, certainly you will receive a solution (after all you deal with a 'serious' firm) and this way you will be walked to an absolutely ordinary apartment, no sign of elegance or luxury, but unfortunately at the same price. If you will try to 
negotiate or to invoke the fact that you were undeserved, you will be approved, but there is no other alternative and if you wish you can go to a hotel or wherever you wish!
The funny part in this type of swindle, is that most of cases the apartments you see in the images showed on the profile sites DON'T EVEN EXIST in real and this way for locations absolutely doubtful, usually rented with 200-300 euro/month, the owner gets 80-100 euro... per night!
So, look out!
