I took one of the units and transformed the interior from a 1960's apartment to a nice unit with outdoor space.

Full disclosure - that is not what we have used, but it seems to get the job done.We did take the time to consult a designer on furnishings and got professional pictures, which seems obvious until you look at your competition, and our unit has booked within a week of listing both times that it has been available.

Just got a new designated business mobile the other day through Verizon and I am super excited to get started!

Do a new interior paint job, and a few more details.

They have more details here: https://www.uplisting.io/home/...They make it possible to be up and running within an hour, their design and layout is pretty good, and they automatically sync your calendars between direct bookings and Airbnb.
