Charging More per Guest?
When doing research and scanning the AirBnB listings in my neighborhood, I came across a Superhost listing that charged approx $165/night. I was a little surprised because I was thinking about maxing out at $140/night on my unit. Reading on I found that this particular listing also noted that it could accommodate up to 8 guest. When I plugged in 8 potential guest, the price jumped to approx $250/night (or more depending on the night). I was shocked! I was even more shocked when I saw that the apartment was only really built as a 1bed/1bath (as noted by some of the reviews). But the host got around this by putting beds in a sun room, using blow up mattresses, etc. Is this common? Does it actually work and increase profits without turning off potential guest? My unit is an official 2bed/1bath flat. But now I'm considering adding a queen sized hidden murphy wall bed to the large enclosed dining room. Any thoughts?
