That is may be one of the turnoffs which may come across as the price is too high.Get the tenants out in two weeks, spiff it up, clean and you will probably have more interest.

Born and raised in New York; I have been working for a contractor for a few years now and have owned my own exterior cleaning business for 4 years as well.

@Steven WestlakeIf you’re going to be doing the rentals to individual events, it will be a good amount of work for turnovers and cleaning, etc.

The holes in the boards were there to hold the plaster (because they did not have spackle yet and still had to plaster), just like the wood lathe would. you can repair the cracks just like you would in drywall, i would recommend cleaning out all loose plaster, using a mesh tape and for the first coat some 45 minute easy sand, this product will dry fast and ready for you to put another coat of it or spackle on it, but you may want to solve why you got the cracks in the first place before repairing, usually something needs re supporting. the wire mesh you talk of in the corners can be cut with a sawzall or you can use a drywall hammer and chop it out at the corner ( if your aim is good ) this can be removed and easily patched then with the drywall, just make sure to wear gloves and safety glasses when doing so.

I have small multifamily duplexes that I bullet proof with no carpet and usually 2 bedrooms.  

The rain refresh has the new technology feature where water and dirt sort of just fall off of it, making it self cleaning for the most part. 

For instance in your example of the remote repair, what happens if they go to replace the battery and find out the battery started to corrode and they need to clean the leads, or the issue was actually that the remote got wet and needs to be replaced (it probably took them some time to debug that). 

It adds a personal touch and helps guests feel more at home.Things to Be Aware OfLocal Regulations: Check local short-term rental regulations, including permits, taxes, and any zoning laws that may affect your ability to rent the property.Cleaning and Maintenance: Short-term rentals require frequent cleaning and upkeep.

Many lenders want a clean title prior to handing over money for closing.

The stays are longer than STRs so of course you would expect more wear and tear and a deep cleaning after each booking.
