Staying on trend is key to attracting guests to your vacation rental. Ensuring your vacation home is up-to-date and stylish can make all the difference in how it's perceived online, ultimately leading to more bookings. At Upstay, we understand the importance of creating a visually appealing space that resonates with potential guests and works within your budget. A popular theme design that appeals to guests of all ages is Star Wars. For our Star Wars newsletter issue, we caught up with Alex de Martino, Upstay's head of design execution, to learn more about these upgrades and how they can enhance the guest experience and your return of investment.
