On my side, I don’t make profit with Airbnb, but it’s a personal choice. Ask yourself if you would be satisfied to get a place like yours for the price you ask. I don’t have the same expectations if I pay 25$ a night. If I rent a space for 100$ per night, I expect it to be shining, decorated with taste, and calm. A little bit of home staging cannot hurt anyone, as long as you stay honest about what you offer.Ībout honesty, please choose a price that makes sense with the quality and location you offer. I suggest to put extra energy in your pictures and to show details that make your home special. Of course, if you are on a prime location, you may have more requests, but it’s also a question of branding. Yes, but it all depends of how you promote your space. When you’ll get your first request, Airbnb’s system will assist you with notifications and emails to help you to think about everything. If you only want to rent a room for one weekend during the month, or only when you’re on a trip, you can. You have complete freedom to choose the availability, the price, the maximum number of nights, etc. Is it complicated to become a host?Ībsolutely not. They will help you if anything bad happens. I prefer to meet new people and to welcome them in my home than to protect my belongings.Īlso, it is important to remember that every host gets insurance with Airbnb. For me, the decision to rent my place to strangers is a part of my process to value experience more than possessions. Of course, there are objects that have a sentimental value, but I detach myself from them more and more everyday. On my side, once I removed my laptop, my camera and my cellphone from my apartment, there’s nothing of monetary value. The answer depends of the relation you have toward your possessions. Does it bother you that strangers live among your things?

Conditions can change, depending on Airbnb mood of the day.
