Does Your Home Stand Out From the Crowd?

As a host or homeowner, creating a standout guest experience is the key to success in the competitive short-term rental market. At L’Abode, we believe every home should be an unforgettable experience for guests, which is why we focus on providing personalised touches and a meticulous attention to detail. Here’s how you can make your property guest-ready while maximising your return on investment (ROI).

Comfort: Creating a Home-Away-From-Home Feeling

Guests choose short-term rentals over traditional hotels for the space and comfort they offer. To deliver on this expectation:

  • Fresh Yet Lived-In Charm: Decorate your home with neutral walls as a blank canvas. Add personal touches like colourful cushions, candles, and books to make the space feel warm and inviting.
  • Use Mirrors for Space: In apartments, strategically place mirrors to create an illusion of more space.
  • Layer Comfort: Incorporate bold rugs to enhance your décor and offer extra comfort. Choose patterns that complement your furnishings for a cohesive look.

Pro Tip: Your home should reflect personality without overwhelming your guests. Display personal items like travel souvenirs or art, but keep the space clutter-free.

Local Experiences: Showcase Your Home’s Unique Charm

Guests often book home rentals for a more authentic experience of the destination. Elevate their stay by infusing your home with local culture:

  • Add local delicacies, guidebooks, or artwork.
  • Curate books or artefacts that tell the story of the neighbourhood or your own travels.
  • Each room should feel like a mini-adventure, reflecting the local character.

Avoiding Rookie Errors

Setting the right expectations is crucial for a positive hosting experience. Some common mistakes include:

  • LowQuality Photos: Poorly lit or unprofessional images fail to showcase your property’s best features. Invest in professional photography to highlight key spaces.
  • Overlooking Small Details: Guests notice the little things, from fresh linens to clean, clutter-free spaces.

At L’Abode, we help hosts present their homes in the best possible light, ensuring they stand out in a crowded market.

Going Beyond Cleaning: The Role of Professional Property Management

Many property management companies stop at cleaning and basic upkeep, but L’Abode goes above and beyond. We ensure:

  • Pristine Preparation: Every property undergoes thorough cleaning and disinfection before and after each stay.
  • Personalised Staging: From fresh linens to perfectly placed décor, every element is tailored for guest comfort.

Our team is here to help you elevate your hosting game, maximising guest satisfaction and ROI.

Practical Tips for Airbnb Success
