HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FURNITURE

A couple of things will affect the longevity of the furniture - what they are made of and how they are made.

NO-SHOE POLICY

Some of your guests may come from countries where shoes are not worn inside. Wherever we step with these outdoor shoes, will be carried to our homes, and eventually to our carpets, beds, etc. Taking off the shoes inside will significantly increase the quality of the indoor air and reduce any possible allergens. Also, you will save your floors and carpets.

INVENTORY AS PART OF CLEANING ROUTINE

In short-term rentals, things tend to break down easily or go missing. That's why it is smart to prepare for the losses.

SETTING YOUR OWN TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE EVERY MAN'S RIGHT

Heat is something that we all experience uniquely, and everyone has their preferences on how warm or cool their living environment should be. Being able to control the indoor temperature and set it for your preference should be every man's right. If guests feel either too hot or too cold in a place, most likely they will never return.

HOW TO TURN YOUR RENTAL HOME INTO A COZY NEST?

Coziness for many people means warmth - not just a feeling, but physical warmth too. With the right color choices, lights, fabrics, and textures you can create warmth in your rental apartment. Harder edges tend to add stress to the space and may feel uncomfortable to some, so try to opt for rounder shapes in furniture such as mirrors, tables, etc.

SHORT-TERM RENTAL LAUNDRY FACILITIES

A washing machine can be crucial if you plan to host guests for a longer period. When staying for over one week, most of us will run out of clean clothes and need to do the laundry. Nobody wants to do their laundry outside, so ideally you would offer the washing machine inside your apartment or, at least, in the same building with private access for your guest.

If your place is meant for families, you should also consider that there may be small children staying in there, and the environment should be suitable for them too.
