Business seems to have fell after summer

Food for thought—depends on condos? I can completely understand avoiding anything requiring use of an elevator.

A low rise apartment with exterior/outside facing doors, would be reasonably safe. Meaning you enter condo directly from parking area. If you get first floor you don’t worry about passing on steps.

Agreed—a good multivitamin & maybe a couple mineral supplements will support overall good health, not cure anything.

My Dad asked me if taking a B12 supplement was a good idea considering his medications & other vitamins. Like most vitamins, a small supplemental dose can’t hurt (except K if you take blood thinners) and may be beneficial. Large doses of anything should be supervised by a physician.

Not to mention the bad grammar in the title of this thread. I’ve noticed in the last few years that there’s a whole lot of Americans who now use the past tense of a verb with “have”. “I have wrote”, “He had ran” “Have fell”. Pretty sad that people can’t even speak their own language correctly.

Ah yes. Puddling drapes. Looks so elegant in photos. In reality, covered in dust and a haven for bugs in a tropical environment.

I saw one on Instagram the other day that made me pretty cross. ‘We got friends’ not ‘we have friends’

Checked it out. Horrid tacky decor, horrid wall art and"sculptures". Host thinks this is “hot stuff”. Kind of surprised there’s no gold-plated toilet.

Review response to the guest who said he had to leave because the place reeked of smoke: “The only odors coming from our blankets, sheets and towels would be a fresh scent from the fabric softeners we use.”

So the host thinks that covering up bad odors with fabric softeners is cool, and that “fresh” is a smell that comes out of a bottle.

And that guest also said, “The owners says that they will reimburse some of the left money but will depend on my review. That I can not write something to prevent others, like you who are reading this to rent this place”

So, review extortion, nice. Tells guests they’ll only get their money back for legitimate complaints if they agree not to leave an honest review.

99 photos? Half of which are redundant or duplicates. Who needs 4 photos of the bathroom sink and 3 photos of the pool? Bed is made poorly. Lots of host-brags, based upon seemingly nothing but their own ego.

Oh yeah, Mexico’s coronavirus numbers are shameful and the real numbers are at least twice, if not many times, what is reported. Has one of the highest, if not the highest death rate in thre world.

Very little testing, many Mexicans won’t go to doctors, people in rural areas are sick at home and die at home, those cases aren’t reported.

I realize few US states have mask mandates, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t mask or that individual businesses don’t require it. And there are areas of the country where people take precautions and areas where they still think it’s a hoax.

Canada is generally so much more on the ball with this than the US. So many places there now you can’t go without proof of vax. Sure, there’s anti-masker, anti- vaxers there- and they’re being fired from their jobs, can’t get on a plane or train, or even go to a restaurant.

True, thanks for correction. I do actually know the difference, but you were fast- didn’t give me time to look it over and correct the typos. You must be sober :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That’s very true when it comes to online communication. But I’ve heard plenty of native-born Americans, as well as Canadians mangle the language. Many Canadians have been saying “I seen it” for a long time.

…and, technically, “individuals whom that affects” ?

Wrong. Who is correct in that sentence. I hear whom used incorrectly all the time as well.

I found the listing yesterday but didn’t mention it. Now I’m wondering why a professionally decorated condo has an abundance of nude statues & a stripper pole in pic 74. Oh well to each his own

Did you see the “dancer pole” in the Brooklyn listing?:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

When I saw the listing I thought it appeals mostly to men wanting bachelor parties, not family friendly at all. To be honest, I don’t think it would appeal to couples wishing a romantic getaway either.

Finally got round to having a wee peek at your STR empire.

I agree with you, not many folks will have seen what you are offering, although it’s probably not for the reasons you think.

Fella, you have managed to out tacky an Istanbul house of ill repute (see what I did there :wink:), and that is no mean feat.

I was wondering, do you have those little bowls of condoms strategically placed, and do you list them as an amenity?

Anyway, it’s fairly obvious folks vote with their feet, so to speak, the last time I came across calenders with so much availability across multiple units was when first opened our doors.

That, along with your review count, suggests you may not have been quite as busy you suggested :joy: as I don’t see you on BDC or VRBO.

Just as I was reminiscing about the various Istanbul pleasure palaces I had visited (for work purposes!), we picked up another direct returner for October.

My Oloroso supply is now guaranteed until at least February.
