Episode 2: Pricing, Superhosts and Lasagna!

Send us Fan Mail Myka rents private rooms in his house for $30 each or $60 for the entire upstairs, using Beyond Pricing to adjust rates. He's on track to become a Superhost on July 1st after a guest left a glowing review praising his wife's lasagna. Steve is still waiting to close on a furnished two-bedroom South Padre Island condo, held up by flood insurance disputes with Wells Fargo. The hosts discuss what makes a good Airbnb: providing fridges and microwaves in guest rooms (which few local hosts offer), king-size beds, smart locks, and personal touches without being intrusive. They debate welcome gifts like wine (Myka stopped after underage guests may have drunk it), coffee setups, and amenities like pool tables and grills. Steve shares his own guest experiences - a private room in San Antonio where the host ate his French fries, and a cramped Barcelona listing with a misleading balcony photo. Both emphasise treating hosting as hospitality, not landlording, and staying responsive even during dinner out.
