WHAT IS AIRBNB?
Founded in August of 2008 and based in San Francisco, California, Airbnb is a trusted community marketplace for people to list, discover, and book unique accommodations around the world — online or from a mobile phone or tablet.
Whether an apartment for a night, a castle for a week, or a villa for a month, Airbnb connects people to unique travel experiences, at any price point, in more than 34,000 cities and 191 countries. And with world-class customer service and a growing community of users, Airbnb is the easiest way for people to monetize their extra space and showcase it to an audience of millions.
What is an AIRBNB co-host?
We’ve heard from hosts around the world that sometimes they’d like a little extra help with their listing. There are times when they’d love to have someone to help out with messaging, check in, and more.
Current hosts can now add co-hosts to their account. This is a simple way to allow someone else to help with some of the hosting responsibilities from their own account, without giving someone access to your personal account, personal details, or payment information.
They can help with as much or as little as you need, and together you can negotiate their service fee for the help they provide. And if you’re looking for one, we are here to provide you those services. We can be your co-host!
What can we do for you?
We can take on hosting responsibilities for your listing and offer a little extra support whenever you welcome guests to your place.
Here are some of our services:
Help getting your space ready for guests
We can help prepare your space so it’s ready to welcome guests. We could do a little informal interior design (like suggesting decorations, lamps, etc.), creating a list of supplies to be restocked after each guest stay (e.g. soap, toilet paper), creating a house manual, and more.
List your space
We can create a listing for your place on Airbnb. We can help with writing a description, coming up with an appealing and meaningful title, taking and uploading photos, and help determine the optimal pricing for your place.
Message with guests
We also can message guests for you. We will communicate with guests using our own Airbnb account to get to know guests, answer questions they may have, and coordinate their arrival and departure.
Handle reservations
You can discuss with us how you want us to handle reservations and we will handle them for you.
Welcome guests
You can ask us to welcome your guests in person if needed or choose to let guests in from a lockbox or door code. We will coordinate check-ins with the guests for you.
Respond to Guest issues
We can help handle guest-related travel issues for you. Guests might lock themselves out, the shower may stop working, or the internet may go down. We can jump in to help with the unexpected. We suggest having a conversation with us about your expectations for these types of situations.
Review Guests
We can review your guests and leave feedback for you. Airbnb is a trusted community that relies on ratings for both guests and hosts. You can let us know about how you’d like us to handle guest reviews.
Update calendar and pricing
We can update your calendar and pricing for you. Keeping the listing’s availability up to date is important so guests know when they can book. We can help you decide whether to set prices manually or use Smart Pricing. Smart Pricing automatically adjusts your listing’s price for you, which is great when there are local events, festivals, or conferences that could raise the price of your listing.
Restock essential supplies
We can help stock your place with a few basic guest necessities like towels, toilet paper, and soap. Guests depend on these basics while staying in an Airbnb. We suggest to discuss with us about the supplies needed, when and how they’ll be restocked, and how expenses will be handled.
Coordinate cleaning and linens
We can coordinate the cleaning of your space for you but if you are in Clearwater area, we can provide basic cleaning (reset of beddings, trash cans, toiletry and towels) for $20 which can be often handled by Cleaning fee which is paid for by the guest.
Interact with Airbnb customer service on your behalf
We can contact Airbnb to report and work toward resolution of any issues you or your guests have during their stay.
