Additional Tips for a Successful Airbnb Property
Keep the Property Clutter-Free
Maintaining a clutter-free property is essential. Ensure the space is free from unnecessary items, keeping only what is necessary. Sometimes, less is more—your property should be more sober, clean, and clear. This minimalistic approach extends to the kitchen, where only essential items should be present.
Emergency Keys for Cleaners
Always have emergency keys available for cleaners. This ensures that cleaning staff can access the property in case of emergencies, preventing any disruptions in service.
Linen Management
It is important to have a considerable amount of linen available. This allows for proper rotation and helps avoid damage. Adequate linen stock ensures that fresh and clean linens are always available for each guest.
