Who this is
What it charges
- Management fee
- 15% of the nightly rate only

It explicitly keeps cleaning out of the base - 'we exclude cleaning and other additional fees from our calculations' and 'the cleaning fee should be a pass through cost' - which is the detail that makes a percentage comparable.
