Turning rental into AirBNB in Houston

I am turning my rental into AirBNB.  This will be my first.  Any suggestions on how to go about this?  Any help will be appreciated. How do I keep it clean and get it ready for next occupant?  It is a 3br, 2ba home. Do I rent the whole house or by the room or both?  Would a cleaning service work for this?  Is there an AirBNB maintenance seervices?

I highly recommend getting some nice furniture. People touch and feel your furniture as part of their guest experience. Especially make sure you get great beds. We use Zinus Memory Foam 12 inch matresses (https://amzn.to/2JEhxbS). Guests love them and they are reasonably priced and very durable. Facebook marketplace usually has some great deals on lightly used stuff like couches. A lot of stuff can be ordered online through amazon. Let me know if your interested and I can send you the full list of everything that we bought for our 3 bedroom 2 bath Airbnb. Finally, there are some great YouTube videos provided by Richard with STRU (https://goo.gl/gj2Cac) and Sean with Airbnb Automated (https://goo.gl/UMvUwu). Let me know if you have any other questions.
