Great consise info, great for newbies!
First, there is a lot of info out there. So much, that it can be overwhelming. I read the 1 and 2 star reviews, and I have to disagree with them. (I can easily overlook typos, yes there are a few, no biggie!) I mainly disagree because he worked for Airbnb. He has great insider knowledge as to how the listings are ranked etc. Some of this is no brainier info, but some of it was eye opening to me. My occupancy is way down right now. This book gives clear and concise advice on different strategies that can help my issue. As far as it only pertaining to Airbnb, as one reviewer pointed out, that is in the title of the book. Airbnb is an entity, not a generic term. Generic would be "vacation rental." I decided to sit down in my local coffee shop and read a couple of chapters to try and get my listing optimized. Well, I'm in chapter 12 and suddenly feel as if I can optimize my listing using some of the strategies in Rusteen's book. Pricing has been a huge stressor for me, and I really think I can utilize his advice here and up my occupancy. Maybe I'll find a book on VRBO next, but one step at a time I suppose. Thanks Daniel for helping out the newbies and the seasoned! ... show more

I have read countless books on this topic and Optimize YOUR Bnb is the most informative. I originally purchased the audio version of this book and immediately decided that I wanted it in print as well. THANK YOU for the amazing information.

Daniel knows his stuff but he could REALLY use an editor
For content, definitely 5 stars but if I could give ratings in half-star increments, I would give this one a 3.5. I was distracted by the typographical errors and omissions. For instance, right off the bat, Chapter 1 on page 21 contains an acronym that is not explained. Hey, I'm an Airbnb newbie, I don't know what an "FPG" is. If I have to Google a term used in the first sentence of the first chapter, we have a problem. FPG = Future Potential Guest - there, now you have a head start. Chapter 3, page 37 ... "Be sure to active your listing." I'm certain he means "activate" but this is not a 'typo' - they are different words. Page 45, bottom paragraph - poorly explained. The example image does not have an explanation about what is wrong or what is right about it. It left me unsure of exactly what he's talking about. There's more, but you get the drift. This book is a first edition and could have used a good editor; otherwise, as I stated at first, great content. ... show more

Great Place To Start for Beginners on Airbnb
I read this book a few years ago and have been able to maintain my SuperHost stats on Airbnb! He recommends great tools and resources that are required to take your business to the next level. I especially liked the message templates and with Guesty everything is automated!

This book made all the difference in starting up my Airbnb!!
Before I started up my short term rental, I read this book twice because it was full of great information. I utilized a LOT of the tips and they have paid off tremendously! I get lots of bookings and am doing very well in the STR business.

The Authoritative "How-To" Manual for STR's
Daniel Rusteen's book needs to be read by any and all Short Term Rental (STR) owners and investors. As a long time, long-term rental landlord, this book simplified and demystified for me much about the business of STRs. Each easy-to-read chapter is 3-5 pages long, allowing the reader to easily and fully digest a particular topic or piece of advice before turning to the next. He provides plenty of "inside baseball" from his time working at Airbnb, particularly methods by which to maximize their all-important algorithm. It is also loaded with best practices based upon his years as guest, host, and host consultant. The time you save on researching and testing all of the STR websites and resources is worth the price of the book alone. All of the discounts for various STR-related services and hardware is an added bonus. ... show more
