Step 3: Tap the heart icon to save the property. The icon will fill in to show it's been added to your Favorites.
Step 4: Continue browsing property photos, checking amenities (like WiFi, Self Check-in, Swimming pool, or 24-hour electricity), and reviewing cancellation policies. Your favorite is already saved, so you can return anytime.
