Emilie, thank you creating this space to share , appreciate it very much. Everything about the experience was uplifting - me and my family moved to the beautiful Kent country side seeking nature and calm, and we experience this everyday.
Our home came with an annex, as a family of 3 we did not use the annex much - first year we gave it out on long term rent which was not less than a nightmare.
This year Feb, we ended the contract with the tenant are revisited our original idea to open the space for guests.
Everything from décor to finding the furniture for the space helped in recovering from the emotional distress caused by tenant. the space regained its beauty, finding our co-host made a world of difference, receiving the right guidance and timely support.
Air bnb went live in July and since then we have welcomed more than 20 guests , it's been a source of income at the time we were financially struggling and connection with guests was helping me overcome social isolation.
Guests love our space, and receiving the superhost badge did give a real boost to my confidence. For me and my family this creative project started as way to bring in income but it's turned out to be fun, connecting us to people from afar and take pride in our home 🙂 It has helped me to understand money and marketing in the process. .. all UPLIFTING !
