Hi there!
2018 was the year my husband and I decided to start our Airbnb. We’d recently bought our first home and as we don’t have any children yet, we have rooms to spare! So we decided to list the 2 extra bedrooms, bathroom, and lounge area on Airbnb to see if anyone would book (in May 2018). We’ve been astounded at the response we’ve received! (top 10 favorite memories below.)
*****Here’s our listing in case you want to see the space behind the story:

10 favorite memories from 2018:
1) decorating our upstairs and buying some new things for the space
2) putting up our listing and wondering if/when someone would book!
3) getting to talk with people from all around the United States and world, and local folks too, I guess 😉 jk
4) making some great connections!
-a couple inviting us to dinner (someone wanted to hang out with us?! 😉
5) ppl saying that if we visit their area of the world that they would show us around or even host us — truly amazing!
6) laughing with a couple who spoke a language we barely know, as we made mistakes and had to use our phones to translate for us
7) someone bringing us cookies home from a store we recommend to them (that they went to both nights of their stay)
😎 looking back on how anxious I was to host our first guests and realizing how nice it actually is
9) friends always asking about our Airbnb and having some funny stories to tell friends (ie items ppl have left 🙂
10) receiving so many 5-star reviews, sweet comments and notes, and becoming a Superhost!
I love being an Airbnb host! I hope y’all are loving your experience as well! And have a fabulous 2019!
Best,
Lisa
