Luke Carl gets candid about what guests are actually looking for when they book a short-term rental and why owners need to understand the experience they're selling. He explains how kitchens, privacy, space, and amenities can give STRs an advantage over hotels, while also emphasizing the importance of designing properties around how guests actually use them. Luke also shares practical lessons on building more durable rentals, including reinforcing bed frames, choosing furniture that can withstand heavy use, and avoiding unnecessary spending on expensive furnishings.
