A sleeper sofa in the living room adds guest capacity for the cost of one piece of furniture.

How much does it cost to furnish a 1-bedroom Airbnb?
Furnishing a 1-bedroom Airbnb costs about $3,050 at the budget tier, $5,850 at the standard tier most hosts should target, and $13,300 or more for a luxury listing, based on 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom.
Which tier should a first-time host choose?
Standard. It is the point where the mattress, linens, and kitchen are good enough to earn five-star reviews without paying for design the nightly rate cannot recover. Entry tier works in student and secondary markets; luxury tier only pays back above roughly $200 per night.
Where should the money go first?
The bed. Mattress, protector, three sets of white sheets, and four pillows per bed are the purchases that show up in reviews. After that: a coffee maker that brews pods and drip, a smart lock, and WiFi that reaches every room.
