However during a recent trip to Australia we experienced a gas water heating unit that also required coins for the wash that needs hot/warm water.Now if only we could get water meters that required a monthly credit card swipe for the tenants water supply:)

**Monitor Competitor Pricing:** Keep an eye on competitors' pricing strategies to ensure your rates remain competitive without undervaluing your property.Remember, it's essential to strike a balance between maximizing revenue and offering value to guests during the holiday season.

Just look what your competitors are doing and think of yourself as an appraiser you should be able to add or subtract based on what the competition is doing.
