Do you offer a parking spot for your guests?

Hi everyone,

 

Knowing what guests need is a key part of hosting. It helps us figure out what extras and services can make their stay better.

 

Some guests travel by car, either because they're taking a road trip or because it's the easiest way for them to reach their destination. On these occasions, offering a parking spot can greatly enhance their experience. So, do you offer a parking spot for your guests? If yes, do you charge an extra fee? or how do you manage this service?

@Bhumika this looks like a popular question.

Yes we offer parking in driveway for guest in front of main residence. We have had 1 complaint that it wasn't in front of cottage.

 

Yes we have free off street parking and the residential area is quiet the guests can park in front of main residence for 2nd car.

@Bhumika  Even thought we are in London we are fortunate to have free on street parking and the residential area is quiet so that the guests can park in front of main residence for our Zone 5 property. Central London properties rarely have parking but I ensure that I sent thorough the paid parking alternatives in our guest messages.

Hi @Paul9794 

Which EV charger would you suggest to be universal? I’ve been looking at them recently but have no experience… do you have a suggestion? Thank you!

Good morning @Jeri121 

I definitely went with a universal charger. The charger (zappi) that I went with was really dictated to me by the registered installer- we get a grant of €500 from the government here in Ireland to encourage installations. This is a basic model, there are a myriad of devices - ones that you can connect to via your device and calculates thee costs etc but they are much more expensive, mine is basic and I can calculate the costs myself  as I had a meter installed as well.

We’re unique in our market for including reserved garage parking with keyless access & exclusive use of a fenced yard and large master suite with private entry, so our listing price is higher than comparable “room in a home” properties.

We have free street parking right in front of the house. Technically someone could take that space but it is a quiet residential neighborhood so no one else does. 

Offering a parking spot can be a valuable amenity for your guests and should be free.
