Hi @Camille999 ,
Protecting your expensive furniture while hosting on Airbnb is a valid concern. To mitigate risks, you can screen your guests thoroughly using Airbnb’s tools.
Require a verified ID and favor guests with positive reviews. You might also want to set a security deposit to cover potential damages, which can deter careless behavior.
Be clear in your house rules about what behaviors are acceptable regarding your furniture, such as restrictions on eating in certain areas or on shoe wear indoors. It's also practical to invest in protective covers or use more durable furniture in high-traffic areas. Storing highly valuable or sentimental items elsewhere can prevent accidental damage.
Make sure you have adequate insurance coverage. While Airbnb provides Host Protection Insurance, checking if you need additional coverage to fully protect your property and belongings can provide extra peace of mind.
By taking these steps, you can better protect your furnishings and still enjoy being an Airbnb host.
I hope this helps.
All the best,
