The numbers behind short-term rentals. Rates, occupancy, demand, fees, supply and returns, every figure traced to its source.

Leo Varga

Leo covers what the platforms take and what they change: service fees, commissions, cleaning-fee rules, payout timing and the taxes platforms collect. He works each announcement through to the money on a typical booking, using only the figures the platform or a named source published, and he reads earnings releases for the numbers hosts never see in a product update.
