This is a great idea! Clear target market, well implemented. I feel like investment in advertisement will be a certain ROI.

Awesome idea but is there any way to remove some of the sections like 'House Rules'? Maybe have custom sections? I don't rent my place out but love the concept.

Great idea!

Handling of favorite places is done really good.

I would choose the second or the fourth style as default. The first one is to "monochrome".

If I change the size to 18x24 the circle around the "You are here" gets stretched to a oval.

This is so cool, it deserves his own domain.

This is a great idea. I've sent it to several people I know that rent out their homes. Are you printing yourself or outsourcing it? If you're outsourcing it, to whom?

We are using a local company for now, but might switch to a service to handle high volume.

I immediately wanted to order one, just for my home, no airbnb.

But I'm unable to add new places. I've deleted most of the pre-selected places and tried entereing a few different ones in the field but nothing happens. If I click done I just see the one I didn't delete on the map and no new ones.

FF 57.0 (64-bit) on Fedora 26.

I don't rent my place either but instead I wrote the name of the guest wifi under house rules. And in the big textarea I entered two line breaks so that I can paste a sticker with the current password on it.

This is great. For adding favorite places, would it be possible to show the addresses in the autocomplete? There are more than one Safeway or Starbucks in my area, for example.

Good point, added to the list.
