Hi @Eman1482 ,

First of all let me tell you that you have a beautiful house. I would recommend getting a professional shoot done, every space I am looking at looks bit crowded even the bathroom because of washing machine.

Do not post a pic of closed shower screen unless it's a clear glass. 

Dining table next the wall and just at the entrance can be a turn off for some guests.

Overall, you can provide some welcome drinks and snacks for the first guest to make it look bigger event for your place and a good experience for the guest.

Thanks,

Puneet

I think the 5 cover photos should not display the toilet.  It is a beautiful apartment but your not showing me that right away

Hi @Eman1482, your listing is beautiful. The bedrooms are decorated and staged nicely. The decor throughout blends well also. Per Airbnb policies you must have smoke detectors and a carbon monoxide monitor especially if you have gas appliances or heating system. I noticed the gas stove and if so definitely a carbon monoxide detector. I am confused with the living room area from the photos it looks like you have 2 living room sets? Two living room sets makes the room crowded. I hope this feedback helps 🙏🏾

@Gail995 ,

Regarding the living room, I apologize for any confusion. There's actually only one living room set. It might appear as two due to the angle of the photos. I'll make sure to take clearer pictures to avoid any misunderstanding.

Thank you for your time and suggestions. I'll make the necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and safe stay for my guests

Hello @Eman1482 ! Looks great - I would see if you can get some professional photos done. Otherwise just a few tips: Make sure photos are landscape and level. I would try to get the largest angle of each room to make it feel more spacious and bright. You can easily edit your own photos too to brighten then, get rid of some shadowing and sometimes the texture/clarity will really sharpen an image. Also, toilet seat down for photos 🙂  It looks like a lovely place! Cozy and inviting. For your first guests, I hope the visit goes great! As long as you are fully stocked it should be a breeze. I like to offer a welcome book which showcases the details for checking in and out and then different recommendations for the area and things to do! Canva makes templates for it so it's easy to just swap out the info for your own. Best of luck!!

@Due-North0 

Thank you for your kind words and suggestions!

 Agree that professional photos would make a big difference.

I'll also take your advice about the photo angles and editing. I'll make sure to take photos in landscape orientation and try to capture the rooms from the widest possible angle. I'll also edit the photos to brighten them and reduce shadows.

Great tip about the toilet seat! I'll definitely keep that in mind for future photos.

I'm excited to welcome my first guests and appreciate your advice about offering a welcome book. I'll use Canva to create a personalized guide with information about checking in and out, as well as local recommendations.

Thank you again for your helpful feedback!

Hi @Due-North0 ,

Your property photos look fantastic. The shots of the lake retreat are especially stunning—it feels inviting and makes me want to stay there!

Did you happen to use Airbnb's pro photo program for your photos?

[Due-North0]

Hello! Thank you for the kind words!! That property was a bit hard to photograph due to the lack of lighting. I take real estate photos for work so we have a pretty nice set up that I am able to use for our rental photos as well. It was just shot with a Canon EOS and I typically use lightroom to edit them. Have you used the pro photo program? I'd love to hear from anyone who has.

Hi @Eman1482 
My advice would be to indeed take photos that better show the atmosphere of the apartment. For example, close the toilet lid and make sure there are no cleaning supplies in the picture. As a potential tenant, I also don't need to see a photo of open kitchen cupboard doors. Maybe a bit of colour in the living room by means of accessories, cushions for example, could enhance the atmosphere in the photos. Is there also an outside? I miss photos of that, or of the view. Otherwise you have done a great job.

I wish you succes. Grz. Karen
