When you go on holiday
wish you'd tell me what things are important to you about the place where you stayDo you insist everything be five star, including your own private pool / sauna / 24 hour service
or do you stay in hostels and hope the other 9 in the room won't snore too loudly, keeping your cash to spend on your activities
While I was travelling in the campervan I stayed at campsites with communal showers and loos, but private hedges around each campsite, rather liked that although it had never occurred to me to ask for my own garden in a hotel
I went to Germany last year for a few days and booked the cheapest hotel I could find, turned out not to be the best area but transport into town was frequent and reliable, the room was clean, and the shared bathrooms on each floor were spotless. I got what I paid for, basically.
Apparently most people have MUCH higher standards, Would love it you'd tell me what things are important to you when you're planning a brief getaway - lavish surroundings, or convenient location, or proximity to tourist stuff, whether you like to be out and about and just want a place to sleep, or whether you want to be cossetted and pampered ...

not important in my room, but I know the other sinners need them bad.
Air bnb is a good thing, most of the time.
You strike me as a walk on the beach kinda guy for holidays. Not crowded beaches - dramatic ones, with miles of view. Right? Wrong?
It doesn't have to be 5* or even 4* , but it does have to be clean and safe.
I don't need air conditioning, but I do need it warm enough in cold weather.
Having said that, I have stayed in everything from shared hostels upwards
So self-catering independence rocks your boat best
So I'm really trying to work out how much of an issue that will be.
Good of you to restrict yourself to a mere tiny bathroom in a hotel when you have the entire veld when you're camping in a tent
Four in a Bed is the name of that show Biff
As for your place, a private bathroom even if not en suite is a definite step up from shared facilities.
But then, some people would prefer shared facilities if it means paying less. You could do a combination.
Do your market research, and see what type of person would be your target market.
Market research is sort of what I'm doing on this blog - well, first questions, finding out what it is people like / demand / hate / compromise on
....I promise to think about you if I do...
Oh, not that high. But going up.
Glad if you get some Ideas and a bit of advice from the show Biff.
I'm lucky that I don't have to pay for any accommodation now there, unless I travel around. Then I stay in low cost places....With private bathrooms
If you're turning your place to an Airbnb thing, Art and I would love to stay there!!!
But with breakfast in bed served every morning of course
Also, make sure there'd be no occupant in the adjoining room in case the walls are too thin
Drag the mattress onto the floor.
Art and I would be left with no more energy to do anything else after that!!?!?
