Critique my listing

Hi we are fairly new to hosting (late last summer). Another question add a video of the property?

@Tammy419  Your listing title has a typo. It says Everwhere instead of Everywhere.

 

I'm confused by your photo gallery. It shows what appear to be 2 houses. Or is one the front and one the back, painted different colors?

 

I'd like to see a few more photos- a couple of each room from different angles so guests get a sense of what else is in there, for instance the bedroom, besides the bed. A chair, a closet, a desk? 

 

You have not used the description headings correctly. "The space" is where you are meant to describe the house, rooms, yard, water access and layout itself, not all that other stuff you have written there. "The space" is also where your mention of there being only a shower, no bathtub should go. 

 

I would put the mention of no Wifi available (but a strong cell signal) in the very first section of the introduction. Wifi is something a lot of guests seem to take for granted these days, so it's best to make that prominent. Many guests do not read thoroughly, some barely read the info at all, just look at the pretty pictures and price. So you have to hammer home things that could be a deal breaker for some guests. 

 

You can spin what might be a "con" to some, as a positive to others. "No Wifi! Unplug, relax, curl up on the couch and read some of those books you never have time for, and enjoy the natural environment (don't worry-you won't have to go through total device withdrawal - the cell signal is fine)." 

 

There is no way to add a video to an Airbnb listing. It's been requested many times over the years.
