Host Boise Airbnb Essentials, Supplies, and CheckList 

The Ultimate Host Boise Airbnb Essentials, Supplies, and Checklist

Bedrooms

One of the most important rooms in your vacation rental is the bedrooms. Turning a guest bedroom into a retreat away from the day, giving them a great night's sleep can make or break a guest's stay. Not to mention, your professional listing photos of the master bedroom can seal the deal when a guest is looking to book your home.

Living Room & Office

Your vacation rental's living room is the nucleus of the home. Your guests will occupy this room majority of the time, so having a thought-out space that ties together the entire home is important and can set the mood of a guest's entire stay.

Sheets, Towels & Linens

Don't underestimate the significance of the quality of a good night's sleep. Waking up from a relaxed night of sleeping can have a considerably huge impact on a guest's mood and how they take things in. If something is not perfect about your home, guests' tolerance and opinion of their stay can be highly affected by their rest level.

Consumable Guest Amenities

When guests are surfing through listing photos and descriptions, the consumable amenities your rental home features can really set you apart from the competition. Help ensure your home makes it to the booking page rather than the next button.

Home Security

Your home and guests' safety and security should be a high priority. By equipping your home with safety systems and features, you can help prevent accidents and incidents before they happen. Having the right security elements will reduce risk and help provide a safe and smooth stay experience for you and your guests.

Kitchens

When hosting your home as a vacation rental, it's essential to have a kitchen that can handle anything your guests want to cook.

Don't waste time searching for and providing some odd kitchen trinkets, no one's heard of, but having all the basic essentials and a couple of extra conveniences will pay off greatly in your reviews!
