Greetings Paula and Maria, 

I may have some good comments, *I only wish to help. I may also have some more relative comments, as I have lived in Jakarta for 3 years as an ex-pat. SO, these comments are coming from an USA person point of view , who lived and traveled EXTENSIVELY through out all of Indo. AND we have tried to recreate many of our experience of travel into our rental in Portland USA, with our rental. 

What I would say, your place would not resonate with a western person. When a westerner travels to Indo, or is an expat in Indo, they are looking for the full cultural Indonesian experience - ie- lots of neat antiques, and stuff. On the flip side, you have the people looking for VERY modern and stylish accommodations, [maybe more of the European culture] _ which I believe is the direction you are going. 

I am also a designer, so I will put that hat on now. Your rental seems very random. Neither her nor there. Some rooms seem very stark, and empty with no wall art. others seem dated, with the curtains. The outside shots need more plants and decoration.  Maybe few area rugs over the tile floors. I'm a big fan of feng Sui, Creating balance and harmony which leads to a feeling of happy, comfort, and calm. **The thing for me, the structures in Indo were very 'echo'y. I think it is nice when the space has a warm feeling. 

I hope this helps, and I wish you the best with your rental!

Selamat _b.

It looks like you are doing well, with all your 5 Star reviews. The only thing I would suggest is get a larger TV for the theater room.

Have you tried using AI for design suggestions as well as evaluating your entire listing? I ran my listing through ChatGPT, implemented half of the suggestions and my listing immediately jumped from the 5th page to the 1st page! 

I've also used AI to design my garden when I started getting overwhelmed. It's a fun process and extremely helpful. Design-wise I do agree with Bradley's comments. Your place has good "bones". It's already set up with a clean and modern look. You may choose though to add a few (not a lot) of items that are unique to your area. Above each bed would be an ideal place to hang something beautifully Indonesian. One easy fix could be the left corner countertop of your kitchen which looks cluttered. To use the items you have there you'd have to move other items aside, so it could be frustrating for guests. It may seem like a lot to do, but if you take it one project at a time, you'll get there 🙂
