For example, I have a potential client that has decent unit with a solid location but the decor/furnishings remind of a frat boy out of college meets IKEA/Amazon.A unit like this will suffer from poor design and the reviews will show as well which I do not want affecting my reputation or Super Host status.Do I just decline taking them on if they are not willing to work on it?
