Getting my Unit ready for Airbnb

[Jake Walroth]

Hey guys, so I just closed on my first duplex... I'll be living in one of the units.... however, I travel Mon-Thurs each week and going to really try this Airbnb thing out. The house is very close to University of Cincinnati, all major hospital, highways, downtown, and with walking distance of one of Cincy's entertainment districts. The other homes near mine that airbnb, based on their reviews seem like they do very well and are pretty full. My goal is to market it towards business travelers so that it syncs up with my schedule... . I'd love suggestions on what you think i should have at the residence for people's stays outside the obvious- bed, empty drawers, linens, towels, silverware, etc.. as well as any other tips or suggestions for having a successful AIRBNB property-how to price, how to attain good reviews early on and get near top of the list, etc. Also, I'm going to renovate the kitchen, update with Stainless steal appliances, new flooring..... I feel this will really help visually for the whole airbnb thing. I've added some pics as well.
 

Thanks in advance,

Jake
