Incredible Turnaround in Demand

I haven't been around in a bit because I've been so busy meeting the incredible demand we've been experiencing. I increased rates by 50%, increased min stays from 3 to 5 days and decreased occupancy from 14 to 10 (to accommodate the new Covid regulations), and demand is through the roof. No more am I getting folks asking for discounts for longer stays. They just instant book at full price. 

I was expecting to see a turnaround sometime mid-year when the vaccine would be in the hand of most folks. Is everyone else experiencing similar demand? Do you think this is an anomaly and will die down, or do you think this is just the beginning and demand will continue to ramp up as the vaccine is widely distributed? 

I'm doubling rates in May onwards just in case.
