VRS141 – The Ultimate Vacation Rental List of People and Companies to Follow

 

The ever popular mash-up with Matt is back again – this time with the list of companies and vacation rental experts we love.

Over the last year or so I’ve interviewed some great people, from established niche listing sites to tech startups to independent authorities on topics relevant to our business. Matt came up with the idea that we do a tag team episode on our favourites so off we went.

    What was the name of the website that Matt named to get opinion on one photo versus another… It’s like a poll site I think…
