The teachings free, you have to pay for airfare and hotel, I'm assuming. 

Beyond that, I remember being a hotel guest when I spilt a bottle of red wine on the room's bedding and the hotel didn't bat an eye.

@Joe Butcher,After reading the lawsuit you posted it looks like the women might be gold diggers because they went to a strip joint and to a hotel with the subjects, and it looks like a set up.

If you provide specific services (called "substantial services", think hotel) then it’s considered a business and reported on Sch C (this is rare for an STR). 

Many prefer white because it looks upscale and like a nice hotel, but lots of hosts have been moving to light gray to help with the staining and spots that can occur.

You are effectively operating a hotel.

The only way an AirBnB would work is because there are no Hotels close by (that I know of).

In my opinion STR and small hotels are where the money is made in Spain. 

this is the exact reasons I only stay in Hotels and will only do STR as an absolute necessity..

We know how many going to foreclosure, what we don't know is whether the bank can sustain those losses  (such as hotel / office ) before the Gov. stepped inthis time could be different though so everyone is waiting, it's not about bearish or bullish but just about to wait before calamity, especially the unemployment.
