ABOUT THIS EPISODE

This episode of the Hospitable Hosts podcast is a throwback. We're re-releasing some of our past masterclass webinars that were available in video format only for you to listen to on the go. The tips and tricks in this episode are still relevant today, but remember that any references to specific dates might be outdated. This webinar ran on November 10, 2023.

For this episode, we were joined by the STR expert Jeff Iloulian from HostGPO (the buying group for hosts like you!) to share his insights with Hospitable hosts on how to create listings that stand out on direct booking websites and online travel agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb.

Sleep easy, host confidently with Hospitable.
