Critique my listing in Waterdown, ON

Hello, I'm interested in someone critiquing my listings and would like to ask a few questions.  I just listed two rooms in my home with AirBNB, each has it's own listing.

Questions:

 

1. My listings allow for guests to bring their pets. 

 

What is the average going rate that hosts charge for this fee? 

 

How can I set the fee so that it is a fee per pet rate?  Also, I do not seem to have any flexibility, the only option I have when setting up this fee is as a one time fee for the duration of the guest's stay.  So, if my guest stays one night, the pet fee is set at $50, but if my guest stays 2 weeks or a month, it's still $50 per stay.  I'd like to have some flexibility in the pricing and be able to set the pet fee as a per nightly rate or per weekly rate etc.  

 

I had a guest show up for a two night stay with her pet dog.  She didn't indicate that she was coming with a pet and she didn't pay for the pet fee at the time of her booking.  How do I best remedy this problem from happening again? 

 

2. Dedicated Work Space: 

I was asked to indicate if the work space was in a shared space or a private space, my only option was yes or no.  Guests can work privately from their rooms as each bedroom is equipped with a table and chairs to work from, but they are also welcome to work in other spaces in my home that are shared spaces.  So it's not just a yes or no answer.  

 

3. Does AirBNB provide signage for Hosts to display on their home, lawn or front door to indicate that they offer AirBNB stays? 

 

Thank you kindly,

Hermann

Hi @Hermann73, Hope you are doing well and a very warm welcome to the Community Center!

Personally, I've been to Burlington thrice and each time I visit the city, it simply feels home and has a great vibes😍.

I had a quick peek into your listing and it is amazing! Love the view of the trails you've shared and it definitely seems like a great spot to have a fun weekend with friends🎉

I am also reaching out to our lovely members from Canada, if they may possibly offer their insights to your lovely listing : @Sarah5245 @John-and-Marley0 @Sue2129 @Dave-and-Deb0 !!
