Hello! I'm Esra from Türkiye. I've been hosting on Airbnb for 11 months, but we've been actively welcoming guests since March. We recently earned Superhost status, and our listing is also a Guest Favorite.
However, I haven't seen many hosts from Türkiye in this community. I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at my listing and share your honest opinion.
What do you think of my home? Is there anything you would improve or change?
Hi @EsraandErman0 Your place looks lovely! I have never seen such an immaculate bed!
My advice would be to provide more factual information in the first 500 character description. Most guests don't look closely at a full description, and might only read this first part, and they want to know things like do you have Wifi broadband, how many rooms/bathrooms, how close to the beach or shops or restaurants, nearest airport etc. Parking facilities perhaps (if your guests arrive by rental car). How clean it is. Practical things like this. Not "A stone house with a past. Now ready for new memories" .
I would also remove the two pictures of faces with big lips, which will not appeal to anyone.
@EsraandErman0 I'm sorry, but no I don't think they harmonize with the space at all. To be honest, they look quite weird. They are pictures which will only appeal to a small minority of guests. With artworks in an Airbnb, you should aim for things with a wider appeal, such as paintings of local landscapes perhaps, things which are restful to the eye and reflect the historical nature of the house.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion, but it is my advice based on 12 years' experience of hosting, and I also have a degree in History of Art and used to be an art curator.
