Airbnb Guest Guide for New York

What your New York guide includes

A HostGuide for New York gives your guests everything they need from the moment they land. It covers getting around with Subway and Uber/Lyft, paying in USD, and the kind of local knowledge that turns a good trip into a great one.

Your guide is auto-generated from your Airbnb listing and enriched with local data specific to New York, USA. It includes check-in instructions, neighbourhood highlights, restaurant recommendations, emergency contacts, and house rules, all in a beautiful mobile-friendly page.

Transit and getting around in New York

OMNY tap-to-pay on the subway works with any contactless card. Guests still buy MetroCards and pay 2x.

Local tip most hosts in New York miss

Tipping 18-20% is expected everywhere - including takeaway counters. The 7-day unlimited on OMNY auto-caps at $34 - most guests don't know it exists.

The three questions your New York guests will ask

Which Trader Joe's is closest, laundromat hours, and subway late-night reroutes are the three repeated questions.

These are the questions that drop into your inbox at 9pm when you were hoping for a quiet evening. A one-page welcome section answers them once instead of fifty times.
