Experience with STRs - they at least know or can understand the extra steps it takes to make ready the properties, including photos (cleaners hate taking photos, I've found, even though it protects them from being blamed)2.

Would love to see if you have any photos of the interior renovations. 

I use it, though I hate it, but I avoid problems by setting criteria such as how much in advance a party has to book, minimum number of nights, requiring either a large deposit or purchase of insurance, house rules & photo id requirements prior to arrival, withholding check-in information until just before arrival and sending it to a verified cell phone number.

I can't tell you how many properties have units easily convertible from 1 bedroom to 2 bedroom units, units with favorable dimensional standards which can boost rents with no photos to showcase these attributes, assessment square footage that is not correct,  upgrades not identified in the marketing materials etc.

Quality photos are important .Yeah, building sciences aren't generally a major topic on this forum.

Photos: Yes, taking photos of everything before your tenants move in is a smart move.

Take photos of the condition the tenant left it in. 

I just ask for a photo ID at time of booking.

They are known for their thoroughness and provide clear reports with photos, which can be really helpful.

We recently stayed at an Airbnb with my kids and it was not nearly as nice as the photos and had so many 5 star reviews it was so weird.
