I haven't been on the forum for quite a while but I'm so sorry to hear this.

Great article, I only manage 4, one is my own and then for 3 others. But these types of categories are what drive the rates, and then the demographic you will be selling them to will have their own degree of comfort with the price points within these categories. Well said Charles, by the way, were y...

The second link won't work for me, looks like you have a lovely place though and would like to see the other photos too.
Thanks,

I paid $400 US for mine. No idea how that compares to others.

Totally reasonable to take the discount you gave them for "under occupancy" from the deposit. Go knock on the door and let them know that they have gone against the contract and the discount no longer applies obviously. Don't refund anything until you thoroughly check it all out, no doubt ...

Glad you like them, just had them taken a week ago, so just put them on vrbo yesterday, no chance to see if they will have an effect or not. Hopefully!
Will be working on getting them up and captioned on my website and the other ad sites in the next few days.

I echo the advice about not leaving anything you'd be especially sorry to see "walk" off or break. But as a guest, if I go someplace and there are things laying about as decoration then I can't leave my own "stuff" around, to me it's irritating. When I'm on holiday I need to be a...

Speaking as an American... I have at my rental a top sheet along with a duvet. I would be worried (if I didn't hear everyone on here) that the cover hadn't been washed between guest visits. We actually leave a note on the beds that say that the covers have been washed as it's not assumed here that t...

Thank you for the link, it does look a bit far from the main attractions, but will show it to my friend, the price is definitely right. It's always nice to know of a good place with a good owner!

Bravo!! Amazed at your time, especially as I've passed the 5-0 mark and am heading for the 5-3 mark....and there is no way I could do what you did even if there weren't cobblestones!
Too bad you didn't find the restaurant, did you stay in a hotel or an apt you could recommend in Trastevere?
