How many bathrooms are needed in an short-term rental/STR/AirBnb?

[Richard Davis]

How many bathrooms do you think are optimal for a given number of bedrooms in an STR intended to be advertised primarily through VRBO and AirBnb? I recently spoke to a STR manager who cautioned me against a 6/2, saying that having just two bedrooms for 12 guests would lead to bad reviews and plumbing problems. But Rentalizer seems to PREFER 6/2's over 6/4's in some cases. I've seen Rentalizer's revenue prediction for the same property jump from $101k to $181k when I changed the data from 6/4 to 6/2 (yes, HIGHER revenue for fewer bathrooms).

Puzzled! Perplexed! Flummoxed! Do renters not like bathrooms?

1 bathroom for every 2 bedrooms.  I've got a 3 story house with 4 bathrooms and 8 beds in it.  I've had electricians, welders, fitters, boilermakers, prostitutes and strippers in there.
