Host Guides
Free guides for Twin Cities STR hosts
We've been Airbnb Superhosts for 2 years. These guides cover everything we wish we'd had when we started — platform setup, pricing strategy, and the Minneapolis licensing process.
We'll handle all your platform setup — for free.
Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com — full setup included at no charge when you use GSS cleaning. We also help with your Minneapolis STR license.
Airbnb
A Twin Cities Superhost's complete guide to listing setup, photo strategy, pricing, Instant Book, and reaching Superhost status. Includes a $100–$1,000 signup bonus.
VRBO
VRBO attracts families and longer stays. Learn the fee model, pricing strategy, Premier Host requirements, and how to sync your calendar with Airbnb.
Booking.com
Booking.com dominates international travel searches. Understand the 15–17% commission model, Extranet setup, cancellation policy ranking impact, and the Genius program.
Minneapolis STR License
Every Minneapolis STR host needs a license. We walk through Type 1 vs. Type 2, insurance requirements, fire safety inspection, and the online application — plus free help filling it out.
