I sorted out a way to use MINT.COM for bookkeeping by adding a product called minttoreport.  If you create categories and tags in Mint, you can then import details into minttoreport and generate financials with their template reports.  Super simple and FREE if you deal with Mint's ads.  I also use turnoverbnb for my cleaning crew.  I'm not sure of ALL the channels they sync with but I use it for ABB and VRBO and provides an app for my cleaners so they can follow their own schedule.  I sorted out a "hack" for this tool as well, enter the # of towel sets you want to leave each guest in the notes section.  Saves my cleaners time and saves me $.  Oh, did I mention this tool is free as well unless you use their recommended cleaners?
