Are you planning on renting your spare room on airbnb? Watch this first!
We've spent nearly two years renting out our spare room, master bedroom and a bell tent on Airbnb - and we have learned a lot along the way!
When most people think of hosting on Airbnb, they will probably think of renting entire houses, or flats, and that they won't have anything to offer on the platform if they only own a primary residence. This is something we used to think as well!
But the reality is: there are many people who are more than happy to rent a singular room on Airbnb. Making this the perfect secondary income for homeowners who have extra, unused space that would otherwise be sitting empty.
In today's video, we talk about how we got started on Airbnb, why we love hosting on the platform, some real life insights into our experience hosting (spilling the tea on some rude guests) and we offer 3 tips on things you should consider before listing your space on the platform!
Within weeks of hosting on the Airbnb platform, we were able to secure Superhost status - a status that we have been very proud to be holding on to. If you're on the fence about whether or not you want to host your spare room on Airbnb, we are hoping that we can help you decide if this is right for you!
