Just getting started and want to learn about expectations

[Elizabeth3572]

Hi all 👋

I'm new to AirBNB and I'm hoping to connect with someone to learn about the best way to engage with our guests. How can I set the proper house rules without being too pushy. What kind of rules should I set and what am I not thinking of.

Hi Elizabeth!

What a beautiful property! When it comes to house rules I recommend you work within your comfort level. This is your investment so "pushy" doesn't need to be a concern when it comes to protecting it. If you prefer shoes taken off, say so...etc.

Consider any special considerations for your location that should be noted. If wildlife is a concern around outdoor garbage, I would mention that. 

Some descriptions that maybe I missed in your listing:

I would comment on the bunk beds and queen bed sharing an open loft. That would be a consideration for families and they may not realize the layout.

Do guests have access to the basement? If so, photos please. If not, note that.

Best of luck to you!

Thank you so much for the advice and for helping with information I didn't even think of.
