Craft floorplans for your Airbnb listing with this clever new service

It’s happened to everyone—you book a two-bedroom Airbnb only to find out upon arrival that “two beds” means one bedroom and a daybed in the kitchen. 

Uncertainty has always been a built-in feature of the sharing economy; you never really know what you’re getting until you get there. But as ArchDaily reports, a new service, cleverly called Archibnb, is looking to provide clarity to short-term rental hosts and guests with customized floor plans that can be added to listings.

For $49.99, Archibnb will create a professional-looking floorplan of your listing, including more qualitative notations like “big comfy bed,” “Vitra furniture,” and “killer view from this window.” Hosts provide architectural drawings or a hand-drawn sketch, and the service will translate it into a simplified blueprint of sorts that can even depict where shared and private space is in the home.
