Hi @Sheikh-Sarab0 - What a gorgeous apartment! Your listing and photos are just lovely.
I agree adding additional information about Dubai "must-see" and how far your place is form those places and perhaps recommendation on how to get there. I would also add some details about some of the best / most popular spots. Maybe even add some "hidden gems" for your guests.
In the body where you list the amenities with check marks, I'd consider removing that list entirely since Airbnb has amenity lists and you're using them. If you offer any amenities that you cannot select (or just want to highlight), I'd definately mention those, but the complete list seems cumbersome to me since I can see that list easily anyway. Visually the lists are tough to read and that space if your chance to tell people about your space, the attractions in the city, and provide other information like whether self check-in available 24/7 and if someone is be available on-site if guests have any issues during check-in / their stay.
Absolutely replace “childs” with “children.”
And in terms of pricing for couples vs families, that's a tough call in my mind. If you had more than 1 bedroom, I would say absolutely change the pricing for reservations that will need 1 bedroom, as oppiosed to 2+. Since you're offering sofabeds and not multiple beds in multiple bedrooms, I would not change the pricing structure (but you know best about your market and your demographic).
Your photos are gorgeous and I would recommend making 2 changes:
1) Reduce the number of pictures from 65 to perhaps 30 or so. For example, you have a picture of a lamp. It's a beautiful, stylish lamp but I'm not clear what information it adds to your listing since you can see it in other photos. Same for the towels on the bed.
2) Create a tour.
As it is now, going back and forth between the inside and the outside is disorienting and makes it hard to me to get a cohesive feel for the place. It also makes it hard for me to show my friends and family any particular photo because I'm unable to "find my place" in the sequence.
Nice job! It looks like a truly lovely, stylish and cozy place to stay - with a great view!!

Hi @Sheikh-Sarab0,
Great to see you've made some changes to your listing!
I'll mention in the lovely hosts who gave you feedback previously in 👉 this discussion, to see if they think there's anything else they'd suggest now. - @Marie8425 @Guy991 @Lorina14 what do you think of the updates Sheikh made there?
Have a lovely day 🙂

Very nice!!
Turn on Airbnb New Listing discount it really helps get you started.
I see you made extensive changes to your description. For me and probably most of your potential Guests, I have never been to Duba, it didn't tell me what I want to know about an area in a foreign country that I am excited to enjoy for 7 days.
Pricing to be competir in both markets a couple or small family. I suggest price for 2 and do an add on for guest 3 and guest 4. A couple not traveling with family doesn't want to pay the same price for less people.
nice place @Sheikh-Sarab0, now... don't put your phone far from you, once you get notification from guests, handle them like your boss,, good luck..
Thanks for sharing words of encouragement with the host @Zoma6 !
I noticed that you've been 8 months into hosting and you're already a Superhost 😍 Are there any specific strategies that have worked the best for you that you think might help @Sheikh-Sarab0 as well?
Your listing looks so good and your photos are beautiful!
I would recommend removing the checks in the description and replacing them with bullet points. They are less cluttery and more pleasing to the eye.
Also, replace “childs” with “children.”
The listing is clear and appealing! I wish you the best!
Spot on tips @Sherrie74 ! Since you mentioned description, I was wondering if you've ever experimented with adding a fun fact about your listing in the description? I’ve heard from other hosts that a little personality can make a big difference in helping guests connect with the space!
I'd love to hear your insights 🌻
Hi @Sheikh-Sarab0 , I just checked your updated Airbnb listing, it looks fantastic! The photos are bright and really highlight the space, and the location near Dubai Mall & Burj Khalifa is a huge plus. I’d suggest adding a few guest-focused highlights in your description, like “4 mins walk to Burj Khalifa” or “ideal for both business & leisure stays,” since this makes it easier for guests to picture themselves enjoying the property.
We recently updated our own listings and saw great results by refining titles, adding small details about local experiences, and keeping calendars/pricing dynamic. You can check ours here for ideas: https://www.airbnb.com/l/FAtXsb9l
Wishing you many more bookings and happy guests! 😇
Thanks for sharing your experience and results after updating the listing @Supriya29 , it's an amazing case study for hosts visiting this thread!
Have you seen notable changes in the number of views in your listing insights graphs as well? How are the performance statistics looking for you?
Your place looks spectacular. Are you allowed to put a couple of chairs out on the balcony?
Thanks for sharing your feedback with @Sheikh-Sarab0 , @Sam5003 🌻
On a side note, I noticed that you have an oceanfront listing 😍 Must be such an exciting view for guests! Do guests tend to mention sunrise or sunset views, private beach access, or proximity to local attractions as highlights in their reviews?
That looks good nice quality photoes . Can add the front of the house photo ?
Thanks for the tip @Su104 ! I hope the host finds it useful 🌻
I also realized one of your previous questions in the Community about separating two listings. How are you getting on with that? Were you able to successfully create two different listings? Do keep us posted if you need any help for that!

Hi there,
Photos look amazing! Being international travellers, I would be interested to know the following:
Is self check-in available 24/7? Sometimes flight may arrive late at night.
Will someone be available on-site if guests have any issues during check-in?
Cheers,
Christina
Hi @Therese294 , these are so important suggestions! Do you offer self check-in in your listings too?
@Sheikh-Sarab0 , do you think adding these details to your listing will help guests to understand your listing and host availability better?
