\u201cSome of our most enthusiastic hosts are so dedicated to their guests having an exceptional stay that they\u2019re challenged to find their own time and resources for themselves,\u201d says Elle. \u201cThey\u2019re givers and sometimes givers swing too far into that giving activity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Determine your goals<\/b><\/h3>\n
Are you hosting primarily to earn money? For companionship? To create more art or share the meals you enjoy preparing? Then it\u2019s important to recognize and feel good about how hosting aligns with and supports these goals. For Elle, Airbnb hosting started as a means to keeping her apartment. She says that initial goal has evolved into being able to provide a great, affordable place to stay in the highly coveted West Village and give guests the opportunity to live like a New Yorker. \u201cI\u2019m proud to be able to share that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Surround yourself with resources<\/b><\/h3>\n
And by resources, Elle means those you can \u201ccall in a pinch\u201d when, for instance, \u201cyou need to get keys to someone at 2 p.m. when you\u2019re working in an office across town.\u201d This includes a community of friends, like-minded neighbors, a cleaning service, or a few people who are willing to work part time or per diem, barter or take payment for cleaning, key hand-off and greeting when you are unable to do it yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
