Should I include places I get a deal from?

Only if you would recommend them anyway, and say so. Guests can tell a genuine pick from a paid one.

Airbnb local guide template

Guests trust a host’s recommendations more than any review site, because you actually live near the place. A one-page list of your picks, with how far away each one is, is what turns a stay into a good trip.

What to put on it

Places to eat, with what to order and how far away they are
Coffee, and when it opens
The nearest grocery store and how late it is open
Things to do outside, walks and beaches
Anything that closes on a day guests would not expect

Getting it right

Pick two or three per section. A list of twenty is a search result, not a recommendation.
Give drive or walk times rather than miles.
Revisit it every season. A closed restaurant on your list costs you trust in everything else on it.
