Hello @Eman1482 , well done for the nice setting of your listing and keep up the good work. Your space looks cozy!
I have read most of the previous comments and I agree and think that they are to the point. The images play a key role to represent your space on the best possible and accurate way and to attract guests.
A professional photography session might be a key for every listing.
If you prefer to do the job with using own photos, I share with you some additional comments:
landscape format as mentioned. try to have a vertical perspective on the photos (having the wall and furniture lines straight on the vertical axis). natural light is important during the moments when capturing, to make the space feel more welcoming and bigger, so perhaps you could try to open the curtains when you photoshoot to get the natural light and compensate with the artificial lights (as needed), in order to give a more pleasant and cozy atmosphere. You have an abundance of light in Cairo and I think that all the lights switched on are not necessary if you open the curtains. Having the towels placed on carefully arranged bedsheets is always a very welcoming and warm picture. Open cupboards are not necessary for the photography.
Try making a careful selection of the five photos which will fully represent all of the listing spaces, promoting simultaneously your best pictures. The first photo is crucial
Furthermore, you can always ameliorate your description texts. I wish to highlight a specific aspect. Setting your listing rules is your field and you are absolutely right to do it. But when you set a limit regarding the electricity and internet consumption expressed in Egyptian pounds this might stress possible guests. For instance 200 Egyptian pounds equals to 4.13 USD which in other markets might not be necessary for the daily electricity consumption needed and in others pretty much. Probably try to express this limit related to your nightly price set, in electricity consumption (KW/h) to make it clearer and avoid losing possible guests, or try to communicate the current electricity prices in the Egyptian market (many guests need and want to use the air-condition all day/night long when visiting hot climates like Egypt and Greece during the summer), or examine the possibility of increasing simultaneously -if necessary- your nightly rate and electricity consumption limit.
Many guests are also attracted by unlimited internet when visiting for work or leisure.
Regarding the last sentence of the description, it could change to "And for the single guests, it is forbidden to visit or host persons who are not related to them.", to include women that might visit Cairo alone.
Regarding the space arrangement, as mentioned by other community member it could be possibly wise to leave more space between the wall and the dinning table to allow sitting, or even take away the second sofa (looking on the back of the other sofa) that might be not needed, in order for you to free up some space to make the living room feel even more spacious. Then you could probably fit the dinning table comfortably and close enough to the kitchen.
Keep up the good work and wish you a great and lucky journey through the hosting experience!
Kind regards,
Dimitris
