Long time guest here. Please include a picture of the stove if you have one. Sometimes its hard to tell if smaller places have one. Also picture of washer/dryer. Thanks

I recently bought bluetooth speakers for all my houses, cleaners and guests love them.

Great post! I am interested in an editable house manual-thank you! You mentioned still using Uplisting. I've heard mixed reviews about their customer service recently. Has your recent experience with them been that they are still responsive? I'm about to sign in, but I am concerned about delays in response time as I am learning to use the new tool. I would also suggest that if you or your cleaner do not have the capacity to clean/maintain an amenity, consider not offering it until you do so. No BBQ grill is better than a dirty, malfunctioning one with an empty propane tank (not to mention the safety liability). My motto is “do less, better” until you can honestly do more and maintain high integrity.

Great content! Continuous reinvestment is a key aspect of running a successful rental property, and should be an ongoing process to ensure that the property remains competitive and meets the changing needs of guests.

Interested in house manual, thank you for the great info guys!

[@tahariscafe1050]

I am a new AirBnB host and when before I launched, I watched your videos to get tips on how to set up and it was great. Thank you. I just launched last week and is fully booked out for May and 70% booked out for June. Your videos have been invaluable to me & I look forward to learning more.

[@MarybethWheeler-dh7tt]

Yes, edited house manual please!

[@kat7544-t1h]

Thanks for this - fully agree! Being an Airbnb host has been a retirement "project" for me for the past several years. Five units in all that I manage (3 in Canada - our home base, and 2 condos in Mexico - where we spend winter). I am constantly seeking out tips and tricks. Like you, I have found a print house manual in each unit to be a great resource (for those interested in that kind of thing). I frame it as an A-Z guide so guests can quickly look things up. Restaurants, Shops and Attractions is a second document in the manual. Thanks for the tip about finding a link to the check in instructions, as I have not had good luck getting all guests to use the app-based check in guide. In my experience, all kinds of calamities can happen when check in instructions are too scant! Keep up the good work!

[@kyleeandsteven]

I love the A to Z idea! 💡🙌

[@jenniferharrelson7218]

I’m interested in the editable manual too.

[@angelahoguet1582]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I am just starting out with my short term rental and your information has been so helpful!

[@kyleeandsteven]

Best of luck!

[@patrickpaige6567]

Great video! Can you help with the house manual?

[@dca1onge]

Great video guys!

[@kyleeandsteven]

Thanks so much!

[@nathanhaniger5763]

Do you have a “perfection inspection” checklist?

[@kyleeandsteven]

No, but we could work on that!

[@tammyrussell-rice5508]

Here's another tip: Limit the number of notes/rules posted throughout the property. These can feel punitive to Guests. While I have had a Guest mention various "signs" found in the house in a Review, the reality is that such notices are meant to be helpful. Nevertheless, Hosts would be wise to keep them to a minimum. More detailed instructions should be outlined in the Guest Manual--not plastered on your walls.

[@kyleeandsteven]

💯

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Agreed. Keep everything simple. It’s a guest getaway! 😊

[@TheKeefyD]

Hi, my first time watching one of your vids. Interesting stuff with some good tips. One thing I'd say: After a while, I couldn't watch, I could only listen. The jumping focus was hard to watch and really distracting. . Other than that, great, thanks.

[@JoHall-ig6fp]

Hi there. Very interested in your house manuel please..About to set up an air bnb in Central Otago New Zealand.

[@sashahastings3022]

Do you guys manage properties out of state?

[@kyleeandsteven]

Currently only our own properties. We’d consider it for a client if it was in a market we’re already operating in

How to deal with questionable rental requests

[@kyleeandsteven]

deny them if you don't feel comfortable

[@ae-jf6sc]

guys, four minutes in and you said nothing. I should setup and use Airbnb profile to become a better Airbnb host?

[@kyleeandsteven]

Maybe we discussed something that you already knew, but you may be surprised how many people hit publish and then don’t go back in to check other fields.
