A mattress is hard to skimp on, but I look for a lot of things at garage and estate sales. I have a popular pattern of dishes that I can pick up partial sets easily when I need them, or even pictures. Its amazing what you can find. I got a framed print for $15 that, in the artists store sells for $225. And on top of it - it was a print that I had wanted.

But my guests damage my properties so fast, I can’t repair so fast. Other day I bought a new mattress – 1,60 x 2 m – and 2 days later guests left blood on it.

It is possible to clear out the bad apples & do believe there always will be some with the lack of integrity. I'm trying to figure out how we, as an industry, can get get the vacation rental industry rentals accredited. I've thought local, national and international on this idea. It's very lofty but I've even thought about contacting the UNWTO Secretary-General on the challenges our industry faces juxtaposing that with the economic climate leading to the potential boon in revenue across all streams involved. I would love to continue this conversation and have started it here: http://beta.vacaconnect.com/Forum/Topic54-11-1.aspx?Update=1 Happy Friday, Jason PS. The site should be out of beta next week, in which, I will "let the world know" of it's existence. Heather,
