Hello @Christa98,
You can have two listings as you mention, one for the entire place and one for a private room.
The article at the link below has information on multiple listings and linking the calendars so as you don't get double bookings.
How do I list multiple rooms?
Some options are
1) have a listing for entire place and one for private room
turn off instant book on both
manually block the dates on the entire place calendar in advance for when you are at home
manually block dates on the private room calendar in advance for when you are away
as soon as you know that you'll be away manually block those dates on the private room calendar
and unblock them on the entire place calendar
2) have a listing for the entire place and one for private room
turn off instant book on both
link the calendars as described in the article linked to below
You should turn off instant book, at least at first, until you're certain that the calendar
synchronisation is working.
If you block dates no one can book those dates at all, neither by request nor by instant book. You must keep dates unblocked if you want guests to book them.
I don't remember if you have the opportunity to set a cleaning as part of the process of creating a listing. You can always add it after the listing is published.
To set a cleaning feel click on "Host" and then on "Listings". Then click on the listing entry.
Click on "Pricing" and scroll down to the "Standard fees and charges" section and click its "Edit" button. Then enter the amount in the "Cleaning fee" box and click on "Save".
Remember to set which dates in the future are available and to set pricing for all available future dates. Do this by clicking "Availability" on the page where "Pricing" is.
Keep your calendars up to date as to when you can host and pricing wise, for example high demand dates like festivals, concerts etc. These settings will help stop you getting reservations when you're not available to host or at a price lower than you want for the date.
Steve.
