Jen has now closed down her last property, The Fox House, Kyneton, due in most to the financial pressure of Melbourne's recent fourth Covid-19 related lockdown. In this short episode, she shares some of her plans for the Hosting With Heart community forward, including the creation of a new directory website for members. She's also looking forward to hosting the first in-person Hosting With Heart catch up in Melbourne in July.

Jen Clark with a personal update after Melbourne lockdown #4

In 2017, there were over 180,000 individual Australian properties listed on Airbnb. Not even taking into account the many other sites and accommodation providers that exist, that's a LOT of people hosting! But is being an STR (short term accommodation) host everything it's cracked up to be and is it REALLY for you? Hosting with Heart is a new podcast for aspiring and existing short-term accommodation hosts and property managers in Australia. Your host (pun intended), short-term accommodation business owner and self-confessed first year hosting apprentice Jen Clark aims to explore every nook and cranny of what it means to be a successful host in Australia in the 2020's and beyond.
