As always, muddy (and others) have the best advice. I think they are right on the mark.
If I might add, I am a bit more traditional with my design and colour and would find the blue wall and the striping a bit intense.
I think your photos are good, but I see a lot of fake plants… I would not use them as all they do is collect dust.
I also see the painted fence in the yard as a bit distracting…
People might disagree with me here, but I think the property needs to be a bit more homey. Possibly too sterile.
Someone mentioned in your reviews not having a chest of drawers to put away clothes was a disadvantage. The reply seemed to me to be dismissive. I would use that as good feedback and invest in a dresser or 2…
Other than that, you seem to be rocking it with your reviews.
what I did for our title, is search our positive reviews for commonly-used words, eg for my cabin the word that jumped out was ‘immersive’. Seemed to work for guests as its a word they came up with (also quite a few came up with ‘hygge’ but I had a big losing fight with my partner who maintains that hardly anyone knows this word & it’d be off-putting). So, I worked the word ‘immersive’ into our cabin title. Its useful as cabin descriptions are always so blah and not inspiring.

You know, it’s very interesting you asked that. I blocked out the calendar for about 8 weeks, but didnt delist.
We didn’t de-list, either. But AirBnB prioritizes those listings that have availability, so it didn’t surprise me when we weren’t getting many inquiries or bookings until a while after the renovation work was done.
I was partly serious about the “DT” comment. I’m guessing you are talking about 'downtown" (edited to add: but that was only after Googling “DT”). But I’m not sure that most potential guests will know that “DT” is downtown. (Then again, I’m not young anymore, so maybe your clientele will know that and I don’t.)
Acronyms and abbreviations should never be used in descriptions, IMO. Doesn’t even have to do with a younger generation understanding them- a guest who may not be fluent in English wouldn’t understand them, either, and I can’t imagine how they would be accurately translated if someone viewed the Airbnb site in another language.
