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
- Set display location - Choose what address guests will see (you can use a general area if preferred)
- Save - Click save to update your location
Location Settings
This is the full address that will be displayed to guests. You can:
- Use the exact address
- Use a general area name
- Customize what guests see
Display Location
The display location is what appears on your property page. You might want to:
- Show the exact address for easy navigation
- Show a general area if privacy is a concern
- Use a landmark or nearby attraction
Privacy Considerations
If you prefer not to show the exact address:
- Use a nearby landmark or intersection
- Use a general neighborhood name
- The map will still show the approximate location
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
