Hi Mark, nice to e-meet you. Just querying about setting up the lower floor of my place to make it an Airbnb. Just curious, how often do you get people staying?

Share listing access

Very happy to help you.

Does it have its own access / is it separate from the rest of your property?

Anyway, my name is Mark a Superhost from Airbnb replying to your "ask a superhost request".
I am here to assist you with getting your listing up and running on Airbnb. Other than the layout I would love to know a little about your Airbnb, where it is, why you are going to be hosting, what you are expecting from Airbnb and more?
Let me know your questions and I would be happy to help (Sydney time).
Thanks and welcome to the Airbnb community.
Regards,
Mark

Make sure you get your free carbon monoxide detector .... having one gives you a speed boost so make sure you order it and make sure that you update your amenities to say its there once its arrived.

Preparing your listing with safety essentials

According to the CDC, carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the United States. Installing a carbon monoxide alarm is a simple step that can save lives. For active Airbnb Hosts that qualify, you can sign up for a free alarm above.

It has its own access but we will be above the space as they will have the whole bottom floor to themselves. It has 1 bedroom, lounge room and bathroom

We are just in Faulconbridge

ideal

i'm not far away in glenbrook

I think its very doable to make your listing a success. I've asked to share access to your listing to view it as you're setting it up

bookings do depend on pricing

what sort of guest would suit you best?

e.g. business traveller, weekend traveller, someone visiting friends and relatives?

We would only be providing a kitchenette so any couple or individual for business, weekend travel would suit it best

Is yours booked out often? We only just bought our place and aren’t sure whether to move back home and rent it or whether we’d make similar money through Airbnb. How often do you get people staying out of curiosity

every airbnb has different demand and it all depends on many things that are variable especially the following: photo quality, reviews for your listing, pricing, location. In general demand exceeds supply so I'd encourage you definitely to go for it. Pick your market .... maybe things like foodies, weekenders, people visiting friends and relatives in the surrounding suburbs, short term business stays, things like this and - go for it!
