Lower rent higher cleaning fee or higher rent lower cleaning fee?

[Sean Wilt]

Question.  I'm thinking higher daily rent with a lower cleaning fee is best?  Say $400/night as an example with $150 cleaning fee which would be the going rate in my area so cleaning fee would essentially be a pass through expense.

I am seeing a fair amount of my competition though that charges upwards of $395 for a cleaning fee which would be WAY over what a cleaning service would actually charge.

Is this a viable strategy to attract more people to your listing?  Perhaps from a platform optimitization perspective? my personal feeling is seeing that large of  cleaning fee is a real turnoff and feels a bit like gauging the guest.  But I may be missing a viable strategy here.

Thoughts?
