Editor-in-chief at Hoosier Host Review.
Hosted short-term rentals across Indianapolis and Bloomington for nine years before starting Hoosier Host Review to cut through host-tool marketing.
What Renata covers
Renata covers the rankings as a whole — which companies make the shortlist, where they land, and whether a claim is solid enough to publish. Every piece of that work is held to how we test and our editorial policy, which means no company can pay for a place, a score, or a kinder sentence.
How Renata works
The rule Renata works to is simple: a number goes on the page only if it can be traced back to something the company itself published. Where a company does not publish a fee or a price, the review says so plainly rather than printing a guess dressed up as research. Our weighting leans hardest on fit (30%), guest experience (28%), and the same rubric is applied to every company in the field — the one we rank first included.
Where you will see Renata’s work
Across our two rankings — management companies and host software — and in the individual reviews, which now run to 95 management companies and 74 software tools, each on its own page with the provider’s published facts laid out in full.
