Salut @Stephanie,
Long-term guest needs " Great care " from the host.
These are some of the things I learned from my own experience in our private room and dormitory shared room listing. 🙂
Good Communication
- I do have to admit, that for a long-term guest, I became aware of many of the "small faults" in the place. Therefore, we gather together monthly with LT guests, for leisurely dinner talk about a trivial matter, stand around chit-chatting. To know about what they need more in the home and noticed it's.
- add in the new bedsheet, linen, extra pillow, towels. Having a desk, table lamp and comfortable chairs in the bedroom
- fully stocked kitchen to assume LT guest life easier. By providing Tupperware, can opener, good strainer etc
- by supplying to their flavour scent of hand soap, shampooing, air freshener. The little things with making its different
- while LT guest is spending more times in-home, we've to act proactively when something is not working and offend to call the handyman. Maintenance/repair/replacement as our full responsibility.
Flexible
-being flexibility for LT guest. We do not provide kitchen access for the shared room listing, but we do allow them to use the kitchen every weekend or when they really need it's. Ready and able to change so as to adapt to the different circumstances.
- we do allow private room and studio LT guest do invite a friend or family member for few nights stay. Perhaps to inform us in advance and assume the inviter observer our house rules.
Take better care and being sharing issue with the LT guest to secured rental 🤗
