New Host- Feedback on Listing - Oaxaca, Mexico

Hello!  Hola!

 

We have been hosting our home in Oaxaca, Mexico for almost a year.   I am interested in getting some feedback about our listing from the Airbnb Community. 

 

When we  purchased the house 4 years ago, it was in complete disrepair and we have spent the last few years bringing it back to life.  There are still projects to complete, as you know it's certainly a process. 

 

Our home is very unique, it's classic Spanish Colonial style, with a large central garden as the heart of the home.  The rooms of the house are not interconnected, and to get from one room to the next, you pass through the garden. 

 

Since the house and its location is so unique,  I have tried to really describe what life in Oaxaca, our neighborhood of La Noria, and at the home is all about. Staying at our place is an experience, as you are really immersed in Oaxacan culture. 

 

We rent our home by the month and have had wonderful success! We have been sold out since opening our doors to the public, are booked through the Spring of 2024 with requests into early 2025.

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to take a look, and we really appreciate your feedback and suggestions!

 

I would like to introduce you to our home, "Casa Ancestral de La Noria"!

 

Saludos,

 

John

@John7474,

 

First off, that photo is definitely eye catching an inviting.  Now, I am really looking forward to clicking the link to see your listing!  There are so many lovely photos, I just kept scrolling through them, and didn't want them to stop, but do wish they were all the wider angle, because I had to zoom my screen to see details in the smaller cropped photos.  You write a lot of details in the description, like I do, but don't be surprised that most guests won't read all of it.  Be sure to highlight key-points in your post-booking greeting message.

 

Me encanta la lingua espanol! (I love the Spanish language!), and think that there are few areas in your description that you can disperse a few Spanish words to add even more flavor to your wonderful listing.  For example, "Nearby bakeries fill the air with the smell of fresh bread and chocolate for Mole", could be "Nearby panaderías fill the fill the air with the smell of fresh bread and pasteles, and rich chocolate for Mole".  To me guests who are interested in staying at your place either will already understand, or will be even more intrigued to find out the meanings of the words.

 

Suggestions:

 

- Your amenities lists a TV, but doesn't indicate what type of service is available, aerial, cable, satellite, or streaming. 

- Drying rack for clothing is also listed, but not a washer.  You may want to tell guests if there is a laundry mat close by or if you charge to do laundry, especially if they are staying longer than a week.

- When it's time to change your cooktop, get an induction unit and ceramic coated induction compatible pans.  The cooker uses less electricity and emits less heat than a traditional burner, and ceramic pans are non-stick and can withstand more abuse than Teflon pans.  I really like Starfit The Rock brand because they're inexpensive and proven to be durable.

 

You should continue to stay booked, because I know your place will get a lot of attention.  Good luck!

Don't just believe what I say, check the Airbnb Help Center

@John7474 , love your listing. I won’t add any to the  suggestions already made by other host(s) but just wanted to say I love Oaxaca! Visited Oaxaca 2 years ago with my sisters (girls trip) and had a lovely time. Great food, friendly people and rich in history. Highly recommend everyone to visit this beautiful city. We even participated in a wedding as it made its way down the cobblestone streets accompanied by giant puppets!

Hola Ana -

 

Thank you for your note.   

 

Yes, Oaxaca is pretty magical!  

 

It's a hard place to describe, but once you experience the city, you quickly understand its charm, beauty and uniqueness. 

 

Thank you again,  

 

Best,
