@JD Martin the biggest issues have been related to furnaces, hot water, a missed clean, and broken hot tub. generous refunds have ranged from 25-100%, it really just depends on variables like nightly rate, guest demeanor, impact on their stay, etc.

We were going to put a hot tub into one of our STRs.
