If you are using channels which allow guests to book multiple rooms with one bookings we recommend to offer each room/unit only once to av  Go to Settings > Properties > Offers > Offer 1 *Show = only when available  Go to Calendar For the 3 apartments*Click in Override row, set = No Checkin/Checkout*Set Minimum Stay (if not already in your Rate/Daily Price.
