No Vacancy The Podcast with Natalie Palmer
Natalie Palmer, Airbnb Host
A show for Airbnb hosts, new and experienced! Every Wednesday Natalie takes listeners behind the scenes of what it’s really like to be a short-term rental host, how to make it easier, mistakes to avoid, and how to get more bookings at higher rates. As an Airbnb Ambassador and 26x Superhost managing 10 properties, all remotely from home while being a stay at home mom of two, Natalie knows what it takes to succeed as an STR host and make this business fit into your lifestyle, not the other way around.
