@Kathy1123 It's the right section of the forum. But you could start your own thread by clicking on "Start New Topic" or whatever the wording is, especially if you'd like a critique on your listing. It will be more easily seen like that.
Tip- if you are writing a longish post here, it will often "time out" and when you hit "Post" you get an error message and it disappears into cyberspace. So to avoid that frustration, copy your post before posting it, so if that should happen, you can easily paste it back into a new message box and post it again. It's really irritating to spend 20 minutes composing a post, only to have the whole thing disappear. 🙂
I did have a look at your listing, which looks nice, but you need to make the living situation clear in your description. Make it clear where the apartment is (a separate, private space attached to your house?) and that you are an onsite host who lives in the main house.
And while you have mentioned the cat and the imminent puppy, it's a good idea to make that more prominent to ward off guests who may be bothered by animals. You'd be surprised how many guests don't bother to thoroughly read the info. Hosts have had guests arrive who then announced they were scared of, or allergic to animals, and tried to demand that the host lock the animal up for the duration of the guest's stay.
Something like, "Please note: there is a cat and also will soon be a puppy on the property. They do not enter the guest apartment, but if you are fearful of these animals or have allergies, you should book elsewhere."
It's something I also reiterate in my message to guests when they request to book- "I just want to make sure you noticed that I have both a cat and a dog, in case that might be an issue for you."
Depending on their response, that question also gives me an idea of whether they have actually read through the listing or not. If their response was "Oh, really? I'm kind of afraid of dogs, could you lock it I your space while I'm there?" I know they haven't bothered to read and also that they aren't a good fit for my place.
A response like "Yes, no worries, I saw that. I have 2 dogs of my own, though they won't be traveling with me, so it will be nice to stay somewhere there is a dog and look forward to meeting yours," means I can relax.
