I have an STR that is geared towards couples. I'm thinking about adding LED string lights to the bedroom. Should i do it or no? Do the string lights cheapen the Airbnb experience?

@John Underwood those are some great tips! i feel like the local FB groups will not allow me to advertise my STR there because they would label it as "soliciting".. any way to get around this so that it doesn't look like i'm soliciting?

My STR is located about 3 minutes from a University. How can I market my STR the parents of the university students who are in town visiting their students? or how can I market my STR to individuals who are in town for college sporting events? Is there way to direct market to these types of individuals?

Question - should I be providing my guests with free Netflix?  Or can i assume that almost every guest will log-in with their own Netflix account?  

Also - should I provide guests with free Disney+?

Question - besides my homeowners policy, should I also get additional STR insurance outside Aircover? Does Aircover actually cover broken/damaged household items? If a guest destroys my place, how do I get reimbursed??

@Keagan Scott on any advice you have to help me increase my bookings would be appreciated!

@Joshua Bautista located in indianapolis.. i'm a 100% newbie at this.. but it appears that the winter times are quite slow in Indy.. I will probably need to do MTR for the winter time towards the end of this year

Hello. What's the best calendar strategy for doing a mix of MTR with STR? For Airbnb, do i allow STR stays for the next three months and then block out the calendar beyond 3 months for MTR stays?

@Travis Timmons thanks!  is it worth paying the $99.00 to list on furnished finder?  I heard many hosts say that they rarely get any bookings on FF.  How's your experience with FF?

Hello - besides Airbnb and Furnished finder and ALE solutions, where else can I list my Mid-Term Rental to get more traffic and views?
