This is the first I've heard about a ban on tipping, so I presume that it's a GB thing.FelicityA wrote:That would be great, wouldn't it! I do hope so but I haven't read about it. Would firmly put Expedia in its place. Is it a Europe-wide thing or just GB?

When we bought the next-door neighbour's place, it included some bookings. They deducted the value of the down payments from the amount that we were due to pay, and I collected the balances myself. As the previous owner had a much lower price on his rentals (and much lower standard in the condo), it...

Personally I think that service fee only has marginal effect. My listings on HA/VRBO were performing splendidly until the end of 2013 - just when we had bought our second condo :-( I had noticed a slight drop in enquiries earlier in 2013, but attributed that to a full calendar. Then spring came and ...

You don't need a ziplink to make up two beds to a king! Just put two divan style beds with a thicker (4-10 cm) topper mattress on top. That's more or less the standard way that Swedish king beds are made up and they don't split. This is also the way that I do in my Swedish rental cottage. I leave th...

I wouldn't install tiles without under floor heating in northern Europe. There's electrical cables that don't fill that much and if you have another source of heating, you can put them with wider distances to just give a pleasant feel to foot, not for heating the rooms (cheaper on the electric bill)...

Wendy, I haven't done your poll because I just don't know! I've tried to keep one of my vrbo ads with my own pictures to compare to the other unit with professional pictures, but I have a hard time decide if it's done any difference or not. Maybe that the unit with the new pics has picked up a bit i...

Really any of your pics are great, But I've chosen the master bedroom as it reflects the seaside feeling. (Or maybe because it reminds me of my own color scheme, I don't know. But whatever you choose, I would go through the pics and remove some of them. Your kitchen is wonderful, but if you click on...

May these 'guests' never leave Denmark again... Am also amazed that this has been done by a Danish family. Usually the Scandinavians are very correct; at least my expereince in both renting out to them, visiting Denmark and having various Scandinavian friends. Couldn't be more correct.. I used to t...
