I love designing “executive-ready” units…But many hosts think they need to spend $10k+ to make it happen.Not true.Here’s what actually matters:✅ workspace✅ fast internet✅ blackout curtains✅ comfortable mattress✅ clean + neutral aestheticSkip the luxury decor shopping spree.How have you positioned your units to attract higher-tier guests?
