Congratulations!  Very Cute Property.

Suggestions

I rent rooms in my house also, my experience has been that when you list two rooms together majority of my inquiries don't pay attention to rooms in shared house.

I still have my 2 room listings, but I also list the rooms separate for rental so 3 listings linked.

The shared bathroom for many is not a big deal as long as maintained.

Turn on the Airbnb New Listing Discount it really helps to get those first reviews.

@Marie8425 Thanks for the insightful advise.

@Viral14 Nice listing. I like the rooftop garden area for morning coffee. iPhone the main thing is keeping things clean and uncluttered. I provide toiletries, coffee, tea, and snacks. I only have one room that I rent out. The rest is a shared space. I have not run into any issues. I keep the bathrooms clean and sanitized that is shared. Wish you the best with your listing!

Hi @Viral14 I'm a superhost in the UK with over 10 years' experience, I've also been an Airbnb guest numerous times, so these are my comments from both a host and guest perspective.

 

1) The details say one private bathroom, but the photos show two bathrooms - is one of them shared? If so, this has to be clear. 
2) Can't see any books in the 'shared library' - it looks like a single bedroom (and remove the clutter on top of the wardrobe)
3) Bathroom photos - always always with the toilet seat down!

4) Photos No.7&8 of a bedroom, it looks like the cupboards/wardrobe are crammed with stuff.

5) Looks like both bedrooms have balconies, but no photos (and no furniture on the balconies?)
6) The roof terrace looks FABULOUS, BUT office swivel chairs are not roof terrace furniture, you need something like rattan chairs (with cushions) and tables, for anyone to be able to actually enjoy the terrace. 
7) You need to say how high the property is and what access (lift / stairs?)

😎 You need to say how many other guests might be using the shared spaces.
9) What's the huge mirror(??) in the kitchen with a giant fly swat(??)
10) Get smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms. I would never ever book an Airbnb without these basic safety standards. You should be extremely concerned for guest safety, as you could be sued in the event of death or injury. Get insurance.
