Is your Airbnb working as hard as it could?
A fresh set of eyes could be all it needs.
When you own an Airbnb, it can be difficult to see your property the way a guest does.
The tired sofa.
The bedroom that doesn’t photograph well.
Poor lighting.
Missing storage.
An outdated bathroom vanity.
Or simply an interior that doesn’t stand out against dozens of similar properties.
Sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference.
Our Airbnb Property Review identifies what’s working, what isn’t, and where your money is best spent.
The guest experience + professional interior design.
We look beyond simply making the property “look nice”.
We consider how it feels to arrive, how comfortably it functions, how well it photographs and where improvements could help create a more memorable stay.
We review:
Overall first impression
Furniture & layout
Styling & presentation
Beds, linen & bedrooms
Lighting
Kitchen functionality
Bathrooms
Storage
Guest amenities
Wear & tear
Colour & finishes
Photography opportunities
Areas that feel dated or underwhelming
You don't necessarily need a renovation.
Often, you just need to know what to change first.
Following our review, we'll identify your property's:
QUICK WINS
Small, relatively inexpensive changes that could immediately improve presentation and guest experience.
WORTH THE INVESTMENT
Furniture, lighting, window furnishings, styling or finishes where spending a little more could make a noticeable difference.
BIGGER OPPORTUNITIES
Areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, flooring or joinery that may be worth addressing as part of a larger property upgrade.
Most importantly, we'll also tell you where we don't think you need to spend money.
Designed for Airbnb owners who are asking…
Why aren't we getting more 5-star reviews?
Does our property look dated compared with the competition?
Should we renovate or just refresh it?
What should we replace first?
Would better furniture make a difference?
Is our property photographing as well as it could?
How do we make it feel more memorable without overspending?
Instead of guessing, we'll give you a clear direction.
From a few changes to a complete transformation.
Once your review is complete, you can take our recommendations and implement them yourself.
Or, if you'd like help, Maven & The Maker can take care of the next stage.
This could include:
Furniture & styling selections
Paint, lighting & window furnishings
Furniture packages
Kitchen facelifts
Bathroom upgrades
Full apartment renovations
You choose how far you want to take it.
Why Maven & the Maker
We approach short-stay properties differently.
We're not property managers.
We're designers and renovators who understand that every day your property is offline can mean lost income.
We create interiors that are beautiful, functional, durable and suited to short-stay accommodation, while keeping a close eye on where your renovation dollars will have the most impact.
If your property needs updating, we can also plan the work through a clear, organised renovation process designed to minimise downtime coordinating selections, ordering and scheduling before work begins wherever possible.
The aim is to get in, get the work done properly and get your property ready for guests again as efficiently as possible.
Our aim isn't to make you spend more.
It's to help you spend in the right places and minimise the time your property isn't earning.
