Number four is location. So yes, sometimes by having the best location ever, it kind of makes all the other things less important. And so, you know, they say location, location, location. The same is true for short term rentals. Again, we're going to have this in our listing. It's going to be very clear. But if someone's in a fantastic location, maybe where they're close to attractions, all these things, maybe they're not actually spending that much time in your property and the location makes it so nice that they're going to leave you a five star review as long as you tick these other four boxes. Even if your property is a little older, it maybe needs a renovation. It has to be clean. Remember, an older property can still get good reviews, but it has to be clean. If it's not clean or it doesn't feel clean, you're not going to be getting excellent reviews.
