WiFi Internet is an amenity

If there is sufficient demand for WiFi I wouldn't hesitate to install. For me, I like to have WiFi at my properties because I sometimes need to do work. But guests appreciate it a great deal.

My friend is looking to rent her chalet in Nice and asked me for suggestions on alternative listing channels. I came across Amnivac, a France site. Francophiles...any word? :D

I like Trip Advisor but I also think people should be advised before using it that it is full of false information. Competitors fake bad reviews against their competition, or write favorable for themselves posing as guests. For my part, I had a terrible experience at a B&B in Mexico City as did ...

The initial link on the first post is not trusted

Thanks for sharing this. I'd never heard of it and would like to know more. Some of you have had inquiries from this. Would someone please share the link again? I clicked on the initial link but my browser (FireFox) told me it wasn't trusted and so I wasn't sure whether to continue. Thanks!
