“I started using this service a couple months ago in my Short Term Rental business and WOW I love it. It has taken the edge off of what I do being a 24/7 host with my 4 properties.”

Cons
“One issue I had was actually my user error: I didn’t realize there was a setting to block discount requests, so a guest received an unauthorized discount. Lesson learned—turn on that setting.”
