What was changed

What changed in each property

None of the three went up on its own. This is what was done, taken from each case's own write-up.

  • Downtown Dubai

    Getting out of the long let, where the rent doesn't move with the market.

  • Santa Engracia

    Styling changes to improve how it looks and how it ranks.

  • Santa Engracia

    Keys, cleaning and bed linen off the owner's diary.

  • Bravo Murillo

    From two guests to four, with a sofa that converts into a 1.5 m bed.

  • Bravo Murillo

    A tourist licence and an electronic lock for check-in and checkout.

  • All three

    Prices set date by date and market by market, instead of one flat rate.

    Madrid

    From 1,125 to2,400€/mo
