Do you want to become a great Airbnb host and earn extra money by renting the available space that you have in your house? And how to make sure that there is nothing to worry if someone you do not know rents your house?

Here are some suggestions from Jessie Fiesta on how to become a great Airbnb host:

1. ALWAYS BE UPFRONT WITH YOUR GUEST

Fiesta suggested that you have to attract customers by giving them clean room and give a free tour to your customers even just around your neighborhood. The condition of your apartment doesn't matter as along as you have a clean area. In his article, he even said that his building was old and had never been renovated. However, he gave a reasonable price based on the condition of his building. He did not expect that after his decision there were many travellers who want to stay in his building.

2. FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE LOCAL LAWS 

You have to make sure that you have knowledge about the existing laws that is in relation towards space renting or room renting. Might be that you are also renting and you posted on your social media site that your room is for rent without the knowledge of your landlord or landlady. This could be the cause of some legal impediments. But if you don't want to be charged with any violations, then better own a space and have it rented for the travellers.

3. ADOPT A BUSINESS MINDSET

It does not end with the renting, but as an Airbnb host you also have to offer free breakfast or some form of free meals. This would attract travellers to rent a space in your building. Remember, that one of the things that travellers are looking for are the ammenities. So with this, you include in your Airbnb profile some of the free perks that you will offer to the travellers specially to those who have limited budget.

4. REMEMBER THAT MOST OF YOUR GUESTS ARE AMAZING

According to Fiesta, based on his experience most of the guests he hosted acted like guests. They will expect you to clean their dishes after they eat, come home at 4:00 am and throw up on the couch. Meanwhile, there are also other guests who will bring something that is unique from their place that represents their culture.

5. STICK UP FOR YOURSELF

You have to make sure that you post house rules in your Airbnb profile. You don't have to be afraid, but you need to be cautious to your guests. Remember, you don't know them. If there is a need for you to have them leave the place, then you have to. If you are not comfortable on how your guests act while they are under your roof then you have to tell them to leave or contact the Airbnb via twitter for an immediate response.

These are only five of the suggestions of Jessie Fiesta in making yourself a great Airbnb host.
