Sat - Sat or Fri - Fri weekly rentals

[Will Boller]

Hi forum! My wife and I have a disagreement. We have a STR that will be weekly during the summer, so that cleaning, etc., is more easily plannable for us. I think Fri-Fri rentals makes more sense, so that the tenant has one uninterrupted weekend. (Most of our renter population will be coming from Boston and NYC area < 2 hours away.) She thinks Sat-Sat. For those that do weekly rentals only, what check-in, check-out day to renters prefer?

On our weekly rentals we do not set a mandatory check in/check out day.  IMO you will further restrict your renter pool.  Why not just leave the calendar open on a 7 day minimum?
