There is a huge learning curve on how to use the Airbnb platform for new Hosts. I always suggest new Hosts use an experienced Co Host for at least the first 3 months or so to ensure the listing gets off to a good start. Your aim is to get at least 3-5 bookings (with 5-star reviews) during your "new" boost that Airbnb gives you. I'll mention a few suggestions and other Hosts can also add their ideas for improvement. You can also post another thread and Title it "Critique My Listing" and you will get more responses from other Hosts.
You'll need to work hard to improve the listings so they appear higher in search results. If the guests can't see your listings, they can't book them. You need to spend a bit of time to improve the listings and getting to know the platform. There are lots of Airbnb Help articles on all kinds of topics and how to improve your listing. I would spend some time reading them. Click your profile photo and choose Help Center to access the information.

Studio vs Bedrooms?
This is a big issue. One of your listings appear to be a studio (bed in a common area not a separate room). The other you also show as a "Studio", but it appears to have 2 bedrooms? No one wants to stay in a place with 6 guests in a "studio" apartment (no separate bedrooms) and only one bathroom. I would address that right away:
Photo Tour
Airbnb takes the bedroom & bathroom count for your sub title shown above from your photos. You need to add the photo tour and then in the bedrooms add the number/type of beds in the "sleeping arrangements" on the photo. Your other listing that does appear to be an actual studio, add the sleeping arrangements to the Living Room (Room). Read the Help article below to learn how to do this.

Photo Captions/Descriptions
Add captions to EVERY photo. Many guests make a booking decision on the photos alone. They need to understand what they are seeing in the photo, what amenities are shown and how they can enjoy the space. You are trying to convey "comfy" and "cozy" in your photos and captions.
Title
Your title should show what is unique and special about your listing, not just the name of the apartment. It looks like you are close to a ski area as you have added ski-in, ski-out to amenities. I would put that in your titles:
"Walk to slopes!" or "XXmins to (name of Ski Area)". You can also add "Walk to shops/Restaurants!" if that is true. I would also add Hot Tub, Sauna, Pool to title.
"Walk to Slopes! Pool/Sauna/Hot Tub"
Be sure to update all amenties in the amenities section to show they are shared, and the hours they are open. You need to expand your description section and describe all the amenities and details.
Calendar Availability
Your calendars are blocked for quite a few days? Have you blocked them or are they reservations? Remember, guests will not see your listing in a search and can't book if dates are blocked on your calendar. This reduces your visibility (and bookings) in guest searches.
Review Your Entire Listing
Many sections are incomplete or missing altogether on your listing. Suggest you go to the listing editor and click each square (Airbnb calls them "cards") on the left. A right panel will appear for you to add information. Put something in every section. Airbnb gives "points for listing completeness).
Pets
One of your listings says you accept Pets, but I don't see you have added a Pet Fee? You should also add rules for Pets to your addl House Rules.
Totally agree...I'm not a fan of the photo tour and it is not intuitive when it comes to showing the bedrooms correctly, or adding, editing, or moving photos.
Basically the photo tour is where the system pulls the number of bedrooms and bathrooms from for your sub title. In order for there to be 2 bedrooms listed in the sub title, you will need to add another bedroom "room" in the photo tour. Then in order to show the couches in the living area are beds, you would need to go to the Living Room photo and add the couches to sleeping arrangements in the photo.
That said, not sure your 2nd bedroom with the bunk beds could be considered an actual bedroom? It would depend on the building codes in your area. Most bedrooms in the USA must have a closet and an egress window to be considered a bedroom. To correct the bedrooms and sleeping arrangements, go to the photo tour:
Living Room (Room)
Add sofa beds to sleeping arrangements on one of your photos in the Living Room (Room). I usually recommend Hosts add at least one photo that shows the couch bed up as a bed in an addl photo so guests can tell the size of the pullout couch. In the caption of photos, add the size of the pullout couch. Maybe this photo:
Add Another Bedroom Room - Option One
If you feel you can call where the bunk beds are a "bedroom", then you will need to add a new Bedroom Two (Room) and move your photos of the bunk beds to that new bedroom two and add bunk beds under sleeping arrangements. You'll need to click the (+) sign at the top right of the photo tour to add another Bedroom Room:
To move your photos to the new Bedroom Two, go to the photos of the bunk beds and click each photo (looks like you have them currently in the Living Room (Room). Then choose "move" and add them to the Bedroom Two you created.
Option Two - Bunk Beds/Sofa Beds in Living Room (Room)
If you don't feel it would be accurate to say the bunk beds are in a "bedroom", then just add the pullout sofas beds to the sleeping arrangements in the Living Room (Room). You can explain in more detail in the photo captions.
