How do I list a studio?

On the rooms and beds screen, choose the studio layout instead of bedrooms, then list your beds in the single sleeping area.

Should I count my office or den as a bedroom?

Only if it works as a private bedroom, with a door and room for a bed. If you keep it as an office, leave it out of the count and describe it in your description.

How do I count a half bathroom?

As 0.5. A full bath plus a powder room is 1.5 bathrooms. Every listing needs at least one bathroom.

Is square footage required?

No. Enter it only if you actually know the number; otherwise leave it blank.

Where do I set how many guests can stay?

On the same rooms and beds screen, alongside your beds.

Bedrooms, Bathrooms, and Square Feet: Getting the Basics Right

The rooms and beds screen asks how big your home is and where people sleep. This article covers the size half: bedrooms, bathrooms, and square feet. For beds and the guest count, see Beds and guest count.

Bedrooms or a studio

Bedrooms: add one for each bedroom your home has, and list the beds in each.
Studio: one open room where the sleeping area is part of the living space. You list the beds in a single sleeping area instead.

Count a room as a bedroom if someone can reasonably sleep in it as a private room: it has a door and space for a bed. Every bedroom needs at least one bed.

An office you keep as an office? Leave it out and mention it in your description. For a guest working remotely for months, it is a selling point.
A converted attic or basement room with a door? Count it, and be honest about it in your description.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms count in halves. A half bath is a toilet and sink with no shower or tub.

One full bathroom: 1
One full bathroom plus a powder room: 1.5
Two full bathrooms: 2

Every listing needs at least one bathroom.

Square feet

Optional. Enter it only if you actually know it, from a lease, a listing sheet, or a floor plan. A guess that turns out 300 square feet off is the kind of surprise that sours a long stay. If you do not know, leave it blank and let your photos do the work.

Accurate beats flattering

Someone moving in for six months compares these numbers against their current place and whether two people can work from home at once. Every number rounded in your favor is a question you will answer later.
