With benefits for both the visitors and homeowners, there’s no wonder it’s so popular! If you’re thinking about hosting guests yourself, but aren’t sure where to start, then read on for our Airbnb advice. 

Types of Property 

Whether you have an empty house available, an apartment, or just a spare room; Airbnb welcomes all! Maybe you’re planning on going away for a while, but ideally, you don’t want your property to be left empty? Plus, wouldn’t it be even better if you can earn some extra money whilst you’re having a great holiday! Understandably, the larger the space and the more people that you can host, then the more you can charge per night for your guests. 

How to be a 5 Star Host 

On Airbnb, those that rent out their property are called “hosts”. When you list your property, be sure to include any local attractions or things that could be interesting for tourists in your description, as well as a detailed breakdown of the amenities. If, like Store That in E14, you’re based in London, it would also be worth noting any nearby tube stations, as this would certainly entice more guests to stay at your residence.
