Being the best host advice

[Eve8995]

I'll take a look at other posts on here, but wanted one place to look as well. I'm going to renovate my second home near the coast so it can be used as an Airbnb - I'm very excited but feeling a little clueless. Would just love some advice on must-haves and must-dos.

I've done a bit of research, I'll put down the guides I have already looked at below, but if you guys know any others I should check out, let me know!

There are lots of useful guides on the community have you looked at them @Eve8995 

also do check supply and demand for the sort of listing you want to set up many markets are oversaturated and if you are in the US I have seen hosts say visitor numbers from overseas are dropping.

If it’s the whole house why not put it on Stayz (VRBO)
