Dear fellow hosts!
I am interested to know how you usually provide information about places/attractions worth visiting close to your property. I know there's a guide book for this purposes here on Airbnb, but I'm more about mentioning those places directly in your listing description for guests to get more information about your area.
Not necessarily big tourist attractions, but any place you think worth mentioning. For example, your recommendation of a nice quiet restaurant within 5 minutes walking distance.
Do you also include basic info on your nearest transportation hubs like airports, railway/bus stations and how to get from/to there?
Do you think it's important and why?
Would love to learn from your experience.
Thank you!

Mentioning nearby attractions in your listing description is one of the most effective ways to connect with potential guests. It’s all about creating a vivid picture of the experience they’ll have if they stay at your place.
I always include a mix of well-known landmarks and hidden gems. For example, if there’s a famous park or museum nearby, I’ll highlight how close it is, like “just a 10-minute stroll to Central Park.” But I also recommend unique spots, like a cozy coffee shop or a quiet bookstore, to make my listing feel personal and relatable.
Transportation details are equally important. Guests appreciate knowing how easy it is to get around. I mention proximity to airports, bus stops, and train stations, and I’ll often include tips like, “a 5-minute walk to the subway station that takes you straight to downtown.”
Why is this important? Because guests aren’t just booking a place—they’re booking an experience. Showing them what’s nearby helps them visualize their stay and makes your property stand out.
Sharing these details upfront builds trust and makes it more likely they’ll click “Book.” Plus, it’s a great way to showcase the charm of your area!
Looking forward to hearing other hosts’ tips! 😊
Thanks for the insight @AutoRank0 ! I haven't thought about adding photos of the local attractions right into the listing. That's a creative idea! 👍

That's truly great, @Waheed17 ! I absolutely agree with you.
"It’s all about creating a vivid picture of the experience" - I love that!
Yes, I also include information on the local attractions, close places to visit, how to get around and important transportation hubs, such as airport, railway or bus stations. For example, I took screenshots of the map route from the airport to the listing with approximate distance/time needed to get to the property, and so did for the train/bus stations.
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
