Airbnb Listing Help Needed
I went live for my airbnb in March and have seen a significant drop in bookings since this month. Any tips and tricks to get better search results?

Airbnb boosts new listings, so that helped at first. A few suggestions, not for better search results, but these will help get guests who view your page to book - your first 5 photos should show an array of views, because when viewing on a laptop or desktop, all 5 are visible at the same time. Yours has 4 shots of the exterior from almost the same angle, except one is a night time shot. The 5th pic is of your hot tub, but Airbnb puts a "Show All Photos" button across it on my laptop, so it's not very visible. Mix up the first 5 pics with one exterior, one hot tub, and some interior shots of the kitchen, living room, and a bedroom. Your house looks very clean and new, but lacking a little character with no artwork. I know the slanted walls are hard for that, but adding a few pieces where you can, and maybe a few artificial plants in pots would help warm it up. Some of your reviews say the house looks better than in the photos. I would digitally lighten up a lot of the photos, because they do make the house look a bit dark. Also straighten up a few that are crooked. I would add another pic of the hot tub taken from the other end of the deck, so guests can get a better idea of where it is in the layout.
