Yes this would be much more interesting. I don't see much value (for me) in what is just overpriced co-living space. What would be useful would be a kind of subscription/housing-as-a-service approach. You pay $X month for membership, give four weeks notice that you'll be arriving in Y city on a given date, and you get back an email with a booking you can confirm or reject.
The problem is that as a nomad 1) a lot of time is wasted looking for good housing 2) you do have to understand the dynamics of the local market to find the best deals since AirBNB is often not the best path and 3) it is stressful knowing you'll be homeless at the end of the month.
I think many nomads aren't deciding where to go on a whim but have pretty clear itineraries of what countries they'll be visiting and how long their visas last. A company that could work with such nomads to offer long-term housing planning could save a lot of time and money.
Then again it's not really clear how big such a market really is.
