Easter Monday Cancelled in France?! Why Rental Managers Should Worry
Vrbo has partnered with BabyQuip to let guests rent baby gear like cribs and strollers, delivered straight to the property without host involvement.

As both platforms move toward offering concierge-style perks, hosts are asking: where does that leave us? #vrbohost #vrbo #shorttermrentals #propertymanagers #propertymanagement #uvikawahi #hospitalityindustry #airbnb #airbnbservices #shortsfeed #shortsviral #babygear #childcare #upsells #guestexperience
