Renting somewhere whilst working away from home

Just wondering if anyone knows anything I don't?! My other half is working away in Central London during the week for the foreseeable future. He's tried commuting in from his mum's house but it's about 3 hours onto his journey a day. He's previously stayed in hotels, but he's now wondering about renting somewhere as this contract he's on is likely to run for a while.

He's self-employed, so wants to spend the least possible amount as this will come out of his daily rate.

I've had a quick look at mondaytofriday.com but seems to be largely a room in another house - ideally he wants a room big enough for him to work in as he often works late.
Any thoughts/advice anyone?

So the commute is 1.5hrs each way? Fairly standard for London!

He could try renting a room in a family home. Gumtree in the area usually has a rooms for rent section.

There are lots of Monday-Friday lets available on places like SpareRoom.com. We rent out our spare room using this. Works very well
