🚫 Not worth splurging on:Fancy wall art (most guests barely notice)Premium cookware (unless targeting execs)Expensive rugs or decor piecesFocus on comfort and function — not Pinterest.What’s one item your guests always appreciate that you didn’t expect?

No one will care about star wars rooms if the host is MIA when the guest can't get the Internet working or the AC goes out and it takes 3 days for the tech to show up to fix it (in Ryan's case he's obviously mastered both as you can see from his pics and his reviews).4.

Apparently there's a community center for art shows, youth programming, etc coming down the block. 

I also like pieces that can serve multiple purposes (e.g. modular coffee tables that the guests can move to better suit how they want to use the space, night stands with built-in USB A and C, art that doubles as lighting, etc.).

Utilities are one of those things that can quietly kill your cash flow if you’re not careful.Some hosts offer “all-inclusive unlimited.”Others cap electric/gas and charge overages.Some even separate internet vs. everything else.Curious how YOU handle it.Questions for the group:-Do you include all utilities, no limits?

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?

Internet is spotty.
