Garages

[Sharon2158]

Are hosts giving access to their attached garage to guests? I have gotten a few inquiries about use of the garage. I have always made it inaccessible, so I am interested to see what the trends are right now.

Hello @Sharon2158 

Having a private spot to park your car is a definite plus for guests Sharon and much sought after. There aren't many filters on Airbnb but free parking is one of them  so if you have one to offer, I would not hesitate in ticking that box and also include that in my description and even in the title.

All the best

@Sharon2158  Most of the single-family, unattached homes that I have stayed at have had driveways that will allow 1 or 2 cars to be parked on the drive and the garages have been locked as owner only areas.

When the property has been part of a condo or apartment type complex where overnight street and driveway parking is "forbidden" due to HOA rules, the garage has been made available to the guest.

If your driveway will accommodate guest vehicles and overnight parking is permitted, then I see no reason for allowing garage access.
