I've been you... and now I'm a 25x Superhost and living out my dreams of providing memorable stays for my guests.
In 2015 my husband and I bought our first house. It was a fixer upper and we spent every penny we had on it. We were out of money for improvements. In 2014 we’d stayed in an Airbnb in France for two months, so I thought – well, we could go stay with Joe’s parents in California and rent out our house on Airbnb.
We had miles for tickets, so we booked a three month trip to California and figured out how to start an Airbnb. Within 24 hours of listing we had 6 weeks booked out. Hospitality has always been such a key piece of our lives, it felt like a gift getting paid to do it!
We kept it up every time we traveled, and at the end of 2016, we realized we were on to something. We bought a second property in 2017 and I had a couple of friends who took a risk on me hosting their properties and we were off to the races!
I’ve learned a lot about how to start an Airbnb and hospitality since 2016. I’ve helped over 100 hosts launch properties (including three of my siblings and my parents)! I created this exhaustive article to not only help you avoid mistakes I made – but so you can be successful and enjoy hosting.
In our 9 years of hosting experience, we have...
90+
Number of hosts launched
10,000+
Number of guests hosted
1,500+
Number of 5-star reviews
Don't know where to start?
When I set up my first short term rental property, I was stressed, confused and felt like I was being pulled in all directions.
How do I register an LLC?
How do I even start budgeting for all the furnishings and supplies?
Will guests even book my place after I spend all this money upfront?
What if I buy the wrong mattress and my guests complain?
What do I do once my first guest books?
How do I set up my listing on the booking platforms?
I’ve had all these same questions and more. Over the past 9 years, we’ve established a process that will transform your listing from average to profitable Superhost.
What if I told you I could answer these questions AND guarantee you Superhost status in your first 6 months of hosting?
Introducing the Mastering Hospitality Mentorship Program
Our 6-step formula to 5-star reviews
1
Create your Business Plan +
Run the Numbers
Creating a business plan will help you know if you’re winning or not. Without a plan, you’re making guesses, stabs in the dark, hoping you hit your target. Mapping a plan will guide you as you develop your business.
2
Select your Property
Choosing the right type of property for your Airbnb is crucial to your success. We’ll guide you through thinking about factors such as location, amenities, safety and and local regulations and help you run the numbers to help you hit the ground running.
3
Design and Furnish
your Property
The design of your property is a key factor to getting guests to book your place. We’ll help you plan out design that appeals to your target guests, that makes you stand out from your competition and captures the attention of your potential guests as they scroll through listing platforms.
4
Create your Listing
Your Airbnb listing is your virtual storefront. It’s the first impression potential guests will have of your property, so make it count. We will help you with everything from hiring a professional photographer for scroll-stopping photos, writing your listing description and setting competitive pricing.
5
Build your Systems
Your listing is almost ready to go live! But there’s one more step – setting up your systems. How do you find a cleaning team you can trust and communicate about scheduling? How are you keeping track of maintenance? What happens when a guest reports an issue? We will help you work a process, so the process doesn’t work you.

This was the BEST airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! It’s so beautiful, the hosts go above and beyond for you, and it’s in the perfect location. Could not recommend enough!
We loved Talia’s place and would definitely book again! It was the perfect spot to crash while in town for a mid-week concert. The space was beautiful and she had such fun little touches, like a house cocktail and oat milk for coffee (speaking of coffee, maybe seriously the best homemade coffee I’ve ever had!!). Thank you so much!
We loved this loft so much. It is a wonderful space with thoughtful amenities. Instructions were thorough and communication from the host was extremely fast. Would absolutely stay again!

If you want to experience what it’s like to live on the Beltline, this is the place! The unit is very close to many Beltline adjacent restaurants and bars nearby but it’s far enough away that it’s not noisy. Also, this is the most stylish Airbnb unit we have ever stayed in, the place looked like it should be in a magazine. In addition, the beds were very comfortable. Can’t recommend enough!
