Hi, I am an STR Designer and I wanted to drop some notes on the experiences I have had with a large swath of different owners this past year from low end to high end.I can see that the point when an owner buys a property to getting it up is filled with anxiety, no to little design planning and most have a low grasp on the guest avatar.
