Hi Chyanne3! Welcome to the community!

Starting out is incredibly exciting. My biggest piece of advice is to focus on your USP (Unique Selling Proposition) right from the start. Look at nearby listings and figure out what can make yours unique—whether it’s a dedicated workspace for digital nomads, pet-friendly amenities, or a beautifully styled space that stands out in photos.

For your first few bookings, price your space slightly below the local market average. This will help you secure those crucial first 5-star reviews to build your momentum.

Best of luck on your hosting journey! You've got this!

Hi Chyanne3,  thank you for giving us an opportunity to share the basics with you. 

I will suggest that before you open for hosting,  make sure your hosting basic amenities are in place, to avoid starting with negative reviews,  at three pairs, of each linens such as sheets and towels,  basic kitchen utensils is also a must and items as well. 

You do not need to buy everything,  use what you have in your house if it's usable. 

All the best in your future hosting!
