Turno in one paragraph
Turno — Cleaning marketplace and turnover automation for short-term rentals (formerly TurnoverBnB). Strengths: Largest cleaner marketplace in the STR space — 75,000+ vetted cleaners across the US and growing internationally; Auto-scheduling from calendar sync works out of the box with every major PMS and booking channel; Photo-based checklists and problem reporting keep quality visible without in-person inspections. Weaknesses: Cleaning-only — not a general STR ops platform (no inventory, maintenance workflows, or smart-lock orchestration at Breezeway’s depth); Marketplace quality varies by market — rural or non-US areas can be thin.
