Quote from @William Anderson:

I just read the statement about not telling me it depends. Yet, it really does.  My market is the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  All of our properties are within 1 mile of the beach.  This area serves as the gathering place for almost all state-wide events e.g. cheerleader competitions.  Many people want places that will sleep 10+.  Often we get a houseful of young children here for some competition with their adult chaperones.  It's also a place where people come for family reunions.  It's somewhat central to much of the country.  

This area does not have a party reputation so it's rare that we have to take any action against a loud party.  As property managers, we watch over our larger properties closely when they are going to be full.  FYI, something to consider if you have a large number staying with you.  It's difficult to get the AC down to 65 with 10+ warm bodies, cooking, showering, going in and out.  Be sure the AC is well-serviced.

The smaller units e.g. one bedroom condo usually have a sofa sleeper.  These are great for weekend visitors from New Orleans and Florida who come here to gamble (12 casinos).  The smaller ones are good for two couples when our Coliseum has a big event such as Reba.  We have a good balance with various sizes.  

So, as I said it depends on your market.  

I think its also important to have a smart Thermostat. Having the ability to change the temperature from your phone can be useful. I’d prefer that rather than my guests to be playing around with the thermostat every time. 

I have a big family household and one thing I can tell you is that we always constantly arguing about who keeps touching the thermostat haha. 

I would say two queen beds per bedroom. The more beds means more people can stay and the more people that can stay means the more money you can get per person. It also really just varies depending on the size of the property. I definitely DONT recommend you put two beds into a room if it means just barely fitting it in there. Guests do not want to sleep in a room that feel very crowded. 

Hey @John McKee, I run an Airbnb Property Management Company in the DMV area and would love to talk more about how I can be a great asset for you and your Airbnb. Even if you decide not to work with me, I'd love to point you towards the right direction. 

As long as you treat this as a business you will be successful. There’s a lot of competition nowadays which mean that managers/homeowners need to step up their game
