How often is the property rented and how is it maintained?

Properties which are rented often should employ a maid service to clean the property thoroughly between apiece rental and possibly during longer rental periods. 

What is the exact location of the property? Asking this question will enable the nonworker to determine whether or not the property is ideally situated for the purposes of the vacation. For example a nonworker on a ski trip would want to be situated close to the mountains while a nonworker more interested in a cultural pass might be interested in a downtown location which will likely be closer to museums and other locations of interest.
