Airbnb has revolutionized the way in which people travel, making personal homes as feasible as hotels, but 'Your Hospitality Art' is a simple design platform that lets hosts make their homes more amenable to the visitors staying there. The platform offers up customizable map templates that show where a home is in the city and marks off different areas of interest for guests, giving them a fun way to engage with the home and the neighborhood.
Your Hospitality Art is incredibly simple to use. Hosts just enter their address into the platform, and it automatically generates a map with their location pinned as well as five other points that users can input manually (businesses like restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance, for instance). The maps are available in four different styles, and users can even adjust the scale to include any info or important navigational quirks.
The maps can be sent for free as PNG files or printed on high quality, glossy paper for $35 to $45 depending on size.
