I formerly had 4 Airbnb rentals in the Bay Area and found it very easy to keep the pipeline full. The secret was to start out with aggressive pricing in order to get reviews then raise prices when you have enough of a reputation.Anyone with experience with STRs find it difficult to rent out a regular private room or find it necessary to differentiate your listing adding more of an "experience"?
There are minor things that you can do to differentiate yourself i.e. free bottle of wine, a welcome letter, keyless entry, map of cool places nearby, bicycles they can use...
My account eventually got banned by Airbnb. They operate similarly to Amazon where they will quickly disable your account at the slightest complaint(even if it's not our fault). Good luck trying to repeal that too.
