Hello @Traci283 👋

It's lovely to see you joining in conversations on the Community Center! I hope you don't mind, I added a photo and a link to your listing to your post. I'm hoping that with easier access, more hosts will pop by and support you with constructive and helpful feedback.

I would take more pictures of your backyard to the door.  Otherwise looks lovely!

Hi Traci

Front of your house and inside look great!!! Backyard could use some TLC (copy what you did in the front). I see your calendar is not open after July 1st, I would use dynamic pricing ( pricelabs) and open it up for a year. Keep up the great work , it looks like you put a lot of effort into making your house look very inviting.

Cheers Ted

Some additional pictures for the bedrooms needed - especially the beds covers... Etc

Aside of this all looks great. 

Wish you great success

Hey @Traci283 , beautiful property clean fully equipped. Instead I'll give you some important tips regarding your listing;

- you should keep the same size for all your photos (landscape recommended) to keep visual consistency for your guests

- add captions to all your photos

- make use of all the 50 characters in your title as it has a huge impact on your search-to-listing rate, and make sure to add quality keywords to rank higher on search results

- add "accessibility features" and "where you'll sleep" sections

- a guidebook to your profile with local attractions

- elaborate in your description don't let any of your guests with unanswered questions and go into details for each room ad space

I would add pictures of the stores like walmart or walgreens that are nearby  or the metro

Hi Traci,

Your home looks great to me. Ultra clean and well maintained. Out door area is an asset for your guests. This is what they appreciate.

I feel the only secret to good reviews from them is to serve them with your heart and soul. Doing extra bit is wonderful but it souldn't be less than what is mentioned by the host.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi Tracy 👋 I'm glad you're asking for an opinion 😊...besides this in our country there is a saying: "Ask 7-8 and at least do all by yourself "...

  In my opinion the facade is very inviting, but the backyard needs some more work...it lacks of plants..flowers...maybe some "fake" vineyards or hanging flowers  who may surround the table and look much more romantic...even  some decorative  stones   or  decorative material  around ...even the tapestry...some paintings..and to be honest the couch is minimalistic for 6 persons...you can provide some more chairs or another couch...in my opinion  it's very big the bed who is adapted from a desk...also...to have more intimacy...I don't  know it depends on the culture of every country...but we put curtains in the windows...to rise the intimacy...otherwise it seems like another building..but not a house...

  Have a good time and be successful ✨️ in your entrepreneurship...

Adorable little house! I love it. I think you have done a great job! Just some subtle tweaks to things, Some vintage art work, mirror or things on the walls. I love charming older homes and decor inside them too. The desk photo, Id set up a book, a laptop, a cute lamp on top, stage it to show how it can be used for someone to work at or write at. The wide shot of the backyard, put the umbrella up in that one. The pic of the bed with the sliding door, I may turn that one to face the bed instead, or open the sliding door and screen and capture a bit of how the outdoor feels instead. If you cant capture that, I may even suggest flipping that angle around, photograph from standing outside at the sliding door facing the bed itself. The fireplace area, move the chair away from the stone work , have some cozy items on the mantel (books, vintage book ends, a cool vintage painting above it, battery operated candles) Looks like you have a great start already and some good reviews. Keep up the good work and let us know how things go if you try anything new!

your cover photo is very beautiful.

Photos 17 and 18 are a distraction, they don’t make sense.  — could you take a better photo of the bathtub?

also it is unclear what the three bedrooms are.  

the backyard photo is drab, and unless a photo actually adds something beautiful, then it is a distraction.

I think it was great that you added that diagram of the house, I have never seen that on a listing before and I think it is very useful.

I don’t know if you mentioned what kind of mattresses you have, but guests are paying mainly to sleep, lol so they like to know about the quality of the mattress, pillows, and linens. I always supply cotton linens and scent free laundry soap,.  as well as healthy, shampoos and conditioners, etc.
Because you want to appeal to people who have allergies.  people, appreciate that niche attention.  

providing organic and local amenities also is a nice touch

One of the things I stated in my description is that I take care of  guest requests immediately.

that assures anyone who books that you will be a responsive host to any unusual situations that might come up .

for me that has been the key to hosting. Is that guests are invited to let you know anything that is an issue, in order to benefit future guests as well. This is a way to convert complaints into a benefit to yourself and the guest.

Sorry to come back again...maybe I would like to talk about the policy of pricing...I suggest to put "smart pricing" and to understand the market around you...to  put the days vailable begining....the cancellation policy...to control the prices around and not to compete 😉 with high  prices... but to put lower prices to attract people...also I would suggest to put more information about the location and to do a guide of what offers the area you live in...the bars...restaurants...places of  amusement...or nature if there is a lake or other natural attraction...

[Xanthi3]

It's an honor to provide my opinion. The place looks fantastic, sparkling clean, bright and airy, spacey, cozy bedrooms , this goes for all areas.

You definitely need to open the calendar and make it available for the whole year if not more. 

Also, I think something needs to be done with the back yard. Maybe it needs some green as the front yard! That'll make everything absolutely complete!

Congratulations for your gem, I wish you all the best, I would always like to stay there!

Good luck 🙂
