SEATTLE, WA – An Airbnb host is making waves after experimenting with new fees and up-charges at their Puget Sound bungalow. After asking guests to literally pay their actual mortgage directly to the bank, remodel the basement, and father a few children the host was featured on Airbnb’s “Most Innovative Hosts of 2022” list.

The cute mid-century modern home overlooks the sound and was built in the early 60s. It’s advertised for $299 a night, however, after taxes, cleaning fees, college tuition for the new children, the basement remodel and 3 months of mortgage payments, the 3-night stay came out to $293,568 – a competitive price for a Pacific Northwest Airbnb rental.

Thus far the property has been booked solid.
