"The thought of starting a vacation rental is both exhilarating and terrifying. Alisha helped me narrow in on what I needed to focus on to get my place up to snuff to start listing right away! From tips and tricks, to things I hadn't even thought of and wisdom that I didn't even know I needed. I almost completely pulled the plug on my rental unit because I found out some tricky bi-laws but she was able to help me think of some solutions to help solve my problem! This course has been a complete gem!"

"Alisha was instrumental in helping us get our house ready to rent as a short term rental. Her course The Short Term Rental Lab had advice and ideas that had never occurred to us, and she is an expert in helping others see the vision. Alisha has an incredible eye for detail and made many suggestions in regards to items we should have in the house for our guests. She also provided links to the items we need that were of high quality yet still within our budget. All in all, it was a great experience working with Alisha and taking the Short Term Rental Lab. We will continue to rely on her expertise and be on the lookout for her next class."

"The documents in this course are so helpful! Alisha lays out everything that you could need to set up your short term rental. The calendar is especially helpful to help you stay on track! She also does a great job of walking you through step by step and showing you how to complete everything."
Lauren
"I thought that this course was great. I think it covered all necessary bases to get a short term rental up and running. There is just so much that goes into it that many people don't think about - LIKE THE BACKUP BLANKETS/TOWELS/AMENITIES! :) I also agree that cleaning is the most important thing for a rental. No one wants to go in and see a single hair or have stained bedding. It just will not get your guests off to the right start. Alisha, I think you did a great job with this course. "

Why I Created This Airbnb Course (and Why It Works)
I created this course after launching my own Airbnb, Kona Landing, and helping dozens of friends do the same. I saw the same patterns: hosts spinning their wheels, wasting money on the wrong supplies, or struggling to get bookings. I designed the Lab to give you exactly what I wish I had—step-by-step guidance from someone who’s actually done it. Not theory, just what works.
