Very interesting article about not only guest complaints but also host complaints.

    It is an interesting article. I get the feeling that most of the horror stories occur in large cities when guests are involved.

    The biggest takeaway I have is to keep doing what I am doing the way I am doing it. Professional cleaning, regular maintenance, clean communication with guests, 3 day stay minimum and no instant booking.


     This exactly. Focus on what’s in your control and don’t let external stories change your focus. I’ll read the article now but it just seems like another hit piece.


    Agreed. The thing about renting to people, some of them generally suck. Doesn't matter if it's LTR, STR, or whatever.
