Accurately setting your property's location helps guests find your property and understand the area. Haven uses Google Maps integration to make this process easy.
Setting Location
- Navigate to Location section - In your property edit page, find the Location section
- Search for your address - Use the Google Maps search box to find your property
- Select the correct address - Choose your property from the search results
- Verify the pin - Make sure the map pin is in the correct location. Drag it to adjust if needed.
- Save - Click save to update your location
How the Public Location Works
Haven automatically derives a guest-friendly location label (e.g. "Coral Bay, VI" or "Tahoe City, CA") from your property address. This label appears on your property page, in search results, emails, and other guest-facing surfaces. You do not need to set it manually — it updates whenever your address changes.
The exact street address is only shown to guests after they have a confirmed booking.
Location Benefits
When setting your location, consider highlighting:
- Nearby attractions - Restaurants, beaches, parks, etc.
- Transportation - Public transit, airports, highways
- Neighborhood features - What makes the area special
- Accessibility - How easy it is to get around
Accuracy Matters
- Correct location - Helps guests navigate accurately
- Nearby search - Guests searching by area will find you
- Trust - Accurate information builds guest confidence
Local Guide & Recommendations
The Location & Local Guide section also includes Local recommendations — your curated list of nearby stores, restaurants, things to do, and services. This is different from the Guest Store (Host Co): the Local Guide is free, informational content that helps guests explore the area.
- Use Generate recommendations to get AI-suggested places based on your address
- Add your own favorites manually — Haven writes blurbs, finds photos, and adds directions
- Review and edit before saving — recommendations appear on your property page and in the Welcome Booklet
