Gave me the exact same rate for my current apartment (1600sq ft Capitol Hill Seattle) and my previous condo (1100 sq ft NuLu Louisville, KY). My rent here is 3.5x what my mortgage was in Louisville and from personal experience in both places the demand for short term rentals in Louisville is nothing like it is in Seattle. So yeah... probably not accurate for the addresses I checked.

or maybe you overpaid for your apartment. it's not uncommon in cities on the west coast for prices to irrationally exceed the possible rental income.

I should have better specified... the rate per night makes sense for the place in Seattle, but is way overpriced for the place in Louisville.
