Hello @Russell238, thanks for posting in our Community.
I had the opportunity to visit Nanaimo this past summer and really loved the landscapes. I wanted to visit Cathedral Grove Park, but unfortunately, it was closed due to the fires. I'm planning to go back soon. 😊
Some of our Hosts from Vancouver and Nanaimo were having a conversation about bookings during the fall season and I thought to share it with you so it can provide some insights from their experience: https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Help-with-your-business/Asking-for-advice-this-fall-season/m-p/1...
It might also be a good idea to start a listing critique thread for other Hosts to share their opinions on how to improve your listing and hopefully start getting more bookings. Here is a guide on how to do that: https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Ask-about-your-listing/How-to-ask-for-listing-critique-on-the-Co...
Finally, here are some tips from our most experienced Hosts that could help improve your hosting experience: https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Ask-about-your-listing/TOTW-Tip-of-the-Week/m-p/1800394#M36571
I hope this helps,
