I bought a standing Pacman arcade and put it in the laundry room. The guests LOVE it....I don't even advertise it in the listing. It's a nice easter egg for the guests.
What a great list! Especially the updated tech and kid items. We once stayed in an Airbnb that even had twin sized bunk beds with safety rails built into the master closet! Super cool. One thing I would consider adding to every bedroom is blackout curtains/shades. When you’re on vacay, you typically want to sleep in without the mornings sun in your face.
a lot of great advice. however, dryer sheets are terrible for your health and the environment. please consider simply using 4 wool dryer balls instead. easily purchased online or at trader Joe's very affordably. fragrance free and they work perfectly.
Always missing from the airbnbs I go to… blackout curtains and great window treatments (sleep is important while traveling), stainless steel pots and pans (Teflon sucks!), and a filtered water source that takes out fluoride. Also, ditch all the scented products. People are more concerned about health these days and it would be amazing more airbnb owners would note that.
Hostway is terrible because of their price model. They try to extract as much money as they can which is why they don't advertise their pricing model. Stay away. Guesty also partially has that same model but at least they have a lite version that is more transparent.
I’d probably just install one of those permanent, nice looking stair gates that looks like a barn door. That way it’s always there for when people bring babies and dogs. As a guest, I would personally love that.
