The occupied dwelling mix is varied: separate houses account for about 70.9% and apartments about 6.1%. The page should let guests filter by the real property type rather than treating every stay alike. Warilla has a house-led occupied-dwelling profile in the source data.

The aim is a credible owned channel that complements current listings and gives the host control of the guest relationship.
