Should I have a 2 night minimum on Airbnb?

You don't want to get stuck with a 1-night booking leaving you with an unbooked day when you are geared to earn a higher income. Setting a 2-night (or even 3-night depending on the weekend) minimum stay during the weekend will ensure you don't lose out on greater income.
