The independent home host (there are now 4 million of them with Airbnb alone) has not undergone any professional training and often appears somewhat biased as to the actual quality of their own home. Long gone are the days of hospitality professionals: you know, those folk who trained for several years in places like Switzerland on how to fold a sheet corner, on what constituted clean and how to create a first-class experience.


Do not get me wrong, the big-name online rental platforms offer an exceptional product if you are a laissez-faire adventurer with few expectations and a diminished pocketbook. But for those who have limited time to enjoy with family and friends and who work hard for that quality downtime, fulfilling expectations is key.


However, if you are a guest or a homeowner looking for some guarantees, in terms of professional inspection, vetting of suitable guests, on the ground crews, good ROI’s and property management backup, then look no further than Tripwix luxury rentals and property management agency.
