Critique my first listing, Jacob, Florida

[Jacob805]

Hi, what a great community, so grateful for the advice and support. Browsed thru several critiques and very excited to get valuable perspectives to help make this better. 

Couple weeks, zero bookings so far. I know this is the slow season for WPB but I'm sure there are a thousand different ways to make this one better. 

I'm currently mounting a TV and waiting for the dining set to arrive so I can add those to the listing. What else??

Hi @Jacob805 

The questions I would have as a guest looking at your listing would be- where do we eat? Don’t see a table. And is there any outdoor living area? 

My personal option as a host is that 6 people is too many for your listing. Many people start out thinking to cram as many people in as possible but it is too much wear and tear, can attract the wrong people, and sofa beds are not usually very comfortable. 6 people need more than one bathroom.  

Your photos could benefit from some colour, particularly the kitchen. One or 2 bright coloured bowls, or the breakfast bar (are there stools?) set up with placemats and dishes. 

Do you have security cameras? It seems to be checked but no info on it, make sure if you have them that you say where they are so you comply with the rules.

@Jacob805 I think this place sleeps 4 not 6. I certainly think it should be priced on 4 not 6. Have you compared your pricing with others using the new price comparison tools in Airbnb?
