How to maximize rent with a two-bedroom unit.

Hello, community.   We started in April and are already Superhosts.and are really enjoying this.  But i have a problem i cant figure out.  Our unit has 2 bedrooms and a full kitchen.  We dont want to over-price for people who only need the one bedroom.  So we have a base price for up to 2 people.   Unfortunately, many of our 2-person guests end up sleeping in separate bedrooms so they effectively get 2 bedrooms for the price of one.   I wish the app could price this by the bed rather than by the person.  Anyone have any suggestions as to how we can keep our unit affordable for those who only need 1 bedroom without forfeiting the extra income we should get when they use both bedrooms?   Thanks for any ideas!

@David12738 you need two listings 

listing A 1 bed

listing B 2 bed

Then link the calendars to stop double bookings. 

Lock one bedroom when you offer listing A

You can block listing A in high season to force the bookings to listing B as blocking does not link across the calendars. 

Finally switch on pro tools in your account to get the multi calendar so you can see which is booked at a glance.
