Dear Gerold:

I was thinking, renting that cottage for $800 a night, that means, if it is true, that the man who owns it put a whole lot of work into it, lots of money so that it is worth this much money for a reasonable customer. There is always someone willing to pay a huge price for something not worth it to most others. But to get that much money night after night from various customers through a season or a year, that means he put in millions, perhaps, into the property. Do you think?

As to your last post, this is a lovely idea, to rent a cottage for a much lesser price, for a few days and nights perhaps,  and get the feel of it, see how it feels.
