Wondering how to get more bookings on Airbnb as spring break and summer vacation inch closer? With some expert tips, you’ll be able to bring in more revenue and higher reviews during these peak travel times. From listing optimizations to algorithm-beating description tweaks and amenities that’ll make your short-term rental stand out, using any of these expert tips can help your single short-term rental or short-term rental portfolio see more bookings flow in!
We’ve already got a short-term rental expert on the show, Rob Abasolo. But one isn’t enough.
