Hi there @Kristin1690, 

Welcome to the Community Center! 

This is a great space for you to get advice from other Hosts. Is there anything in particular you want to ask? 

If you're looking for specifics, here's a couple of options to get you started: 

✨ Ask about your listing - You can ask other Hosts to critique your listing, you could be pleasantly surprised at what other people see!

✨ Advice on your space - This is great for general questions about your space specifically, for example, the amenities that you have at the property to what types of sheets that you use.

Let me know how you get on!

Hi @Kristin1690 Welcome to the world of Airbnb hosting! Here are some key recommendations to help you get started on the right foot:

- Before listing your property, familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations regarding short-term rentals. Some cities have specific rules or require permits.

-Use clear, well-lit photos to showcase your space. Consider hiring a professional photographer. Provide a thorough and honest description of your space, highlighting unique features and amenities.

-Research local listings to set a competitive price. Consider starting with a slightly lower price to attract initial guests and gain reviews.

-Ensure your space is immaculately clean. This is one of the most important aspects guests look for. Stock up on essential amenities such as towels, linens, toiletries, and basic kitchen supplies.

-A detailed guide can help guests understand how to use appliances, Wi-Fi passwords, local recommendations, and house rules.

-Respond promptly to inquiries and booking requests. Provide clear check-in instructions and be available to assist if there are any issues. 

-Offer assistance and local advice if your guests need it. Being an Airbnb host is not just about renting out a space; it's about providing a memorable experience for your guests. Hope this helps!
