Tips
https://www.reddit.com/r/AirBnB/comments/13q7jr2/hosts_what_do_you_wish_you_knew_when_you_were/ -) Stand firm on your pricing - we're not in a bazaar. It's often a red flag if someone is trying to haggle, with perhaps the exception of long-term stays. -) Develop a set of canned responses in Airbnb to answer frequent questions efficiently. This will save you a ton of time. -) Be meticulous with your listing details - it helps to minimize the barrage of queries. -) Invest in high-quality photos. They’re your property’s first impression, and it truly makes a difference.

Review Reminder
Hi John, Thanks again for staying with us! If you have a moment, we’d really appreciate you leaving an Airbnb review. It helps a ton especially as new hosts, and we’d love any feedback on what you enjoyed (or what we can improve). Thanks!
Party Reques
Thanks for the message. We can’t accommodate gatherings of XXX people. We have quiet hours (11pm–7am) and a strict no parties / no extra unregistered guests rule. If your booking is only for the registered guests within the listing’s max occupancy (no visitors), we’re happy to host—otherwise this won’t be a fit.

Old description
LIVING ROOM: Step into a warm, open living room with hardwood floors and an easy, lounge-friendly layout. A large leather sofa anchors the space, with additional seating (including a cozy reading chair) gathered around a decorative fireplace mantel and a wall-mounted smart TV—perfect for movie nights or catching the game. Thoughtful lighting keeps the room bright in the evenings, and the built-ins/bookshelves add a comfortable, lived-in feel.
By the front window, you’ll also find a small work/reading nook—great for laptop time, journaling, or planning your day in the city.
DINING ROOM: Just off the living area is a separate dining space with a full dining table—ideal for shared meals, board games, or Walnut Street takeout. Classic details (including another fireplace feature) give the room character, while the open connection to the first floor keeps everyone together instead of tucked away.
KITCHEN: The dining room opens into the kitchen, making it easy to cook, serve, and stay part of the conversation. The kitchen is equipped with modern, updated appliances and the essentials you need for meals at home. 
Head outside from the kitchen to the private deck—a perfect spot to unwind, enjoy a meal, or linger over coffee and conversation
FINISHED BASEMENT LOUNGE + LAUNDRY: Downstairs, the finished basement serves as a second hangout space—a dedicated spot to relax with a big-screen smart TV and plenty of room to spread out. It’s ideal as an overflow lounge when part of the group wants to watch something while others chat upstairs, and it also works nicely as a quiet office / playroom-style flex space. The basement also includes a comfortable queen-size fold-out sofa bed, so it doubles as a private 4th sleeping space for two‚ great for kids, an extra couple, or anyone who'd like their own area away from the bedrooms.
A half bath is also located in the basement for extra convenience. 
You’ll also have access to a full washer and dryer, making longer stays easy.
BEDROOMS: The home has three separate bedrooms, and each bedroom includes a queen bed.  • Bedroom 1 (Queen): Bright and airy with two tall windows, a Tempur-Pedic mattress, and excellent storage (double-door closet + dresser/nightstand setup).  • Bedroom 2 (Queen): Cozy and design-forward with a comfortable queen bed, an accent wall, and a relaxing chair by the window—great for reading or winding down.  • Bedroom 3 (Queen): Simple, calm, and comfortable—ideal for guests who want a quiet night’s sleep and an uncluttered space. 
Each room also includes a spacious closet for unpacking and staying organized.
BATHROOMS: The home includes 1.5 bathrooms, which makes mornings much easier for groups.  Both bathrooms are stocked for your stay with fresh towels and starter essentials, so you can settle in right away.
OUTDOOR SPACES In addition to the indoor living areas, guests can enjoy bonus outdoor spaces, including a covered front porch with swing and a private deck in the back, which makes the home feel even larger—especially in good weather.
PARKING Enjoy two free off-street parking spaces behind the building. Street parking is also available at no cost, but it can be harder to find later in the day. For overflow parking, there’s a nearby garage just a short walk away.
A/C + HEATING: The home has central heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort
SMART LOCK CHECK-IN: The front door features a smart lock for easy, key-free entry. A unique code will be generated for your reservation and included in your check-in instructions so you can come and go with ease.
HOST SUPPORT: Message me anytime with questions—my team and I respond promptly and are happy to help. We look forward to hosting you and your family/friends and providing a true 5-star stay!
COFFEE AND TEA: Our kitchen stocks various teas and has Nespresso, drip, and french press coffee makers
DEDICATED WORKSPACE Desk, external monitor with HDMI cord.
