💬 Pull-Quotes for Articles
Feel free to use any of the following (pre-approved by the founder):
- “We built Sabrina Homestay for the traveler who wants Phu Quoc to feel like a place where they live, not a place they visit.”
- “At $15 a night, you don't have to choose between saving money and being comfortable.”
- “The most common question I get from guests isn't about the room. It's 'How do I extend?'”
- “Booking.com takes 15-20% in commissions. I'd rather pass that saving directly to the guest and build a relationship.”
