Leveraging Etsy & Local Artists for Creative Decor in Your STR

Welcome back to the Hosting Hotline! This is an Ask Me Anything where each week we’ll answer your questions on Airbnb, STRs, real estate, and everything in between.

Daisy asks:

How do I add some unique decor, with some personality, that can feel special to my place rather than what you see everywhere?
