If you've ever stared at an empty spot on your Airbnb calendar wondering how to fill it, you're not alone. Even the best-managed short-term rentals go through quiet spells — midweek lulls, off-season slumps or those awkward one-day gaps between bookings. It’s a frustrating part of the hosting game, especially when every open date feels like lost income.
That’s where Peerspace comes in.
In this article, we’ll walk through what Peerspace is, how to know if your space is a good fit and how to get started listing alongside Airbnb — without overcomplicating your hosting workflow.
Peerspace is a platform designed for short-term, hourly rentals — think photo shoots, content creation, team meetings and small events. Unlike Airbnb, guests aren’t looking to spend the night. They’re looking for a visually appealing space to use for a few hours.
For hosts and property managers, listing on Peerspace can be a smart way to earn more from a space you’re already managing. It’s not about replacing Airbnb — it’s about making better use of your underused hours and generating income from a different type of demand.
Getting started on Peerspace is surprisingly straightforward. Listing your space on Peerspace is free, but hosts should set a price, add photos and descriptions before making their listing public.
Here’s how to get your space live:
Head to Peerspace.com and sign up as a host. The process is quick — name, email and some basic details to get started. Once you're in, you’ll start building your listing from scratch.
Peerspace users care about aesthetics and flexibility. Highlight what makes your space visually compelling.
Use your description to suggest potential uses — “Ideal for photo shoots, planning sessions or small gatherings.” The more specific, the better.
Photos do most of the selling on Peerspace. Use clean, well-lit images that show off your space’s versatility and character.
Peerspace works on an hourly model, so you’ll set an hourly rate (typically anywhere from $50–$150/hour, depending on size, location and style). You can also define:
Minimum booking time
Available days/hours
Cleaning fees or overtime charges
Be thoughtful about your schedule — many Airbnb hosts only offer Peerspace access during the day, between check-outs and check-ins.
This is your chance to set boundaries. If you're not open to large gatherings or parties, say so. Peerspace encourages transparency — it saves everyone time and avoids mismatched expectations.
Once live, respond quickly to inquiries and requests. Great communication helps you rank higher and book faster.
Peerspace is designed for creative and professional use — so if a space is visually appealing and versatile, it’s likely a good fit.
Popular space types include: Homes, lofts, studios, galleries, warehouses, outdoor areas, commercial kitchens, classrooms and fitness spaces.
Properties not allowed on the platform:
Overnight rentals
Shared building amenities (pools, gyms, etc.)
Vehicles (buses, boats, RVs)
Spaces that are unsafe, cluttered or actively listed for sale
Additionally, Hosts must also comply with local laws related to hosting bookings when listing on Peerspace.
Listing your Airbnb on Peerspace is a low-effort way to unlock new income from the space you already manage. By opening your doors to creatives, teams and event organizers — even just for a few hours a week — you’re turning empty calendar slots into opportunity.
It doesn’t take much to get started, and the payoff can be well worth it. If your space is stylish, flexible and photo-friendly, Peerspace might just be your next smart move.
Hosts can only list spaces on Peerspace if they are the owner, an employee of the owner or a tenant with written permission from the owner
