New listing, advertise by amount of guests, or bedrooms?

Thanks everyone. I changed my listing to just the one room, and when I get the urge, I’ll add a listing with 2 rooms.
FYI The three rooms (2 beds, 1 Bathroom) are on the top floor, so I think that ticks an attractive box for privacy, so I won’t go down the ‘rent both beds separately and they can share the bathroom’ route.

Good plan - it’s only worth doing that if you really need the money. When I did it, reviews were never above 76% 5 star. It takes a lot of monitoring to make sure one set of guests don’t monopolise the bathroom etc. Hope it all goes well! :slight_smile:

We share bathrooms here and it doesn’t seem to hurt us much. I just got this email today from Airbnb;
Congratulations, Michael,
You did it again! You’ve been a Superhost now for 2017 quarters. In the year leading up to 2017-12-31, you qualified by hosting 139 trips and earning 5-star reviews 99% of the time.
(although their sentence structure is a bit off)

@Mike_L

…but you left the part out where they present you with a gift or an award!

J-kidding. Congratulations on your accolades (and sharing bathrooms).

The sentence structure is painful actually. I read it about three times, including one time out loud. Still makes no sense.

I did separate listings. It’s simpler this way
