I am doing this as well. Works like a champ. Can also add notes for cleaner on the calendar like setup for special events such as honeymoon, birthday etc.

i have always shared my calendars but mine don't show cleaning days they show everything. How did you make it show "cleaning". Here's what mine look like
@John Underwood oh it works I’ve been doing it like this for 6 months :)
That's awesome.
We had a problem at one time where Airbnb was showing was showing the checkout day one day early on the google calendar. Not sure why this was happening.

@John Underwood I remember this issue from a few years back although I don’t recall the exact circumstances it had to do with one of the platforms blocking the calendar differently. For instance if the booking was Tuesday night to Friday night check out Saturday morning, it would run the block on the calendar from Tues to Fri. This was not consistent with the other platform and caused a discrepancy. I can’t remember the exact issue. Too much hanging out with uncle Paul perhaps.
None the less if you follow the above instructions you’re golden!
Of course it boils down to the system. If your cleaner as 20 self managers and the other owners don’t want to conform -your cleaner might say “no thank let’s keep doing it the hard way.”

Thanks for the share! @Luke Carl earlier you were using TurnoverBnB correct? I’ve been using a google drive spreadsheet that I update constantly. I’m ready for a new system and looking for great start to the year!

I still use turnover on one of my cabins. Thats what that cleaner uses. It goes back to my system comment. I've only got one property with him so I don't mind because it's free (for one property) and it accomplishes the same goal.

Lucas, I have a question about this.
I know how to get the "export calendar" URL from the listing sites, but not how to add it to the google calendar. I don't really want to create a separate Gmail account for the housekeeper, instead I want to create a calendar in my account & share it with them.
It seems that after logging onto my Gmail account and opening up the calendar I can either:
1) Settings > Add calendar > Create new calendar
OR
2) Settings > Add Calendar > From URL
At first, I used "From URL" and pasted the ics URL there. Thinking that after the calendar was created I would be able to share the calendar with particular people, I chose not to check the box next to: "Make the calendar publicly accessible".
But I found after the calendar was created that there is no way to share it with anyone. That option only seems to be available if you use the first option ("Create new calendar").
So I thought, well, ok, I'll create a new calendar. But after I did, I could not find a way to import the ics URL to the new calendar.
