Convert Currency on Direct Booking Site
I think most Hostfully property managers have guests from other countries come to the USA to visit their properties. When they book through Airbnb or VRBO, or other channels currency is converted for a smooth transaction. Using a direct booking site also must convert currency as we will have potential guests from other countries outside of the USA wanting to come visit our properties in the USA.

To take this one step further, having the option to allow the user to convert the displayed currency into their currency of choice via connection to a real-time currency conversion site would alleviate a lot of questions from guests. We list our rates in USD even though we are in Costa Rica. We are constantly asked "Is this in Canadian dollars?", "Can you tell me the cost in GBP?", etc. Allowing the user to generate an estimated cost based on current exchange rates would be helpful.
