I'm sure this isn't the main issue but something to note and that I notice immediately as someone with a lot of hair/body products in the shower2 subway tiles high of a cubby in the showers is not big enough to fit many/most products.  

laundry, stains in linens, scratches and gouges, improvements, rearranging what they get their hands in, running air conditioners in and out to storage, mowing, dirty windows, missing screens, hair their sneaked in pets get in awful places, coffee setups, orienting them with questions i never considered, and a lot of other stuff, breakage, restocking things they replace or lose, checking unit to ensure in order, etc.This is far worse than ltrOriginally posted by @Bradley Chapman:I'm not sure what one considers hard work, but I maybe spend at most 5hrs a week combined running two Airbnb's.
