A host should design short-term rentals around what guests experience from start to finish, not treat them like personal homes. With more supply and harder direct bookings, creating an immersive stay is how you compete.

We were giving them that immersive experience. So we very much have done things differently to how you would do it if you were sort of, you know, designing your own home. But people often just feel that they've built it and they will come. And the market definitely there's a lot more supply and there's a lot more saturation. So it is harder for the hosts and the short term rentals to, you know, to get those direct bookings without having to rely on, on the agents, the OTAs. So I definitely think if you start with the end experience in mind and design the total experience and your property and your short term rental around it, it'll be successful.
