STR - pets vs no pets

[Marc Shin]

Hello - i'm trying to decide whether to allow pets or to not allow pets in my STR. I see the benefit of allowing pets is that it allows you to open up your property to a much wider pool of guests and possibly also increased rates. But the downside that I see is that allowing pets will cause more damage and potentially increased costs due to the damage caused by pets. What are your all thoughts on this?
