Renting your apartment for Airbnb

  • Set up an account

The first step in setting up an Airbnb account is to tell them what city you live in and if you’re renting out the entire place, a private room or a shared room. They also want to know how many guests you’re willing to accept at a time, so do the math and figure out how many people the site can sleep comfortably. Then, click “get started.”

  • Provide details

Now is the time to get specific about what your listing has to offer, so be sure to select “apartment” from the property type drop-down list. Next, you’ll designate the number of beds and bathrooms available to renters, as well as the exact address and any amenities, like pool or laundry room access.

Be sure to select any amenities that apply from the list provided, so that your listing will be shown to more people. But be totally honest and accurate because a renter can cancel if they find out that an Airbnb apartment isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, or demand money back if that’s the case when they show up.

  • Name your listing

Although they shouldn’t, people really do judge a book by its cover. So, name your Airbnb apartment listing with memorable, fun adjectives that speak to the spirit of the place and the area. This is also where you’ll insert an image of yourself looking like a welcoming host.

  • Upload a precise image

Everyone wants to physically see images of the actual property, so at this time you’ll add high-quality (at least 1024 x 683px) photos of all relevant rooms. Try to make them as clean and attractive as possible, especially the first three because they’ll dominate your Airbnb apartment listing.

  • Select booking settings

Airbnb has standard guest requirements, but at this point, you can add any extras that you find befitting. This includes house rules, identification requirements, and so on. At this point, you can also denote other bits of info about the property, such as whether an elevator or on-site parking is available.

  • Create your calendar

Just because you’re listing on Airbnb doesn’t mean that you have to offer it up all the time. You can opt for select dates, block off periods when relatives come to visit, or leave the calendar wide open-whatever works best for you.

  • Specify pricing

You can set your own price points, or take advantage of the Airbnb pricing tool. This handy function updates prices as supply and demand fluctuate for similar rentals in your area. They’ll also adjust based on other factors as needed, like tourism upticks and big holidays in your area.

You’ll set your own base price regardless, so make sure it’s in line with similar properties nearby. Also, you’ll be asked to choose a currency in which your guests will pay, as well as minimum/maximum nightly prices.

  • Publish profile

Once you’re happy with the Airbnb apartment listing and are sure that it’s an accurate representation of the property, it’s time to make your profile visible.
