Test drive

Test drive

Welcome to the fabulous hosting experience. My advice is test drive your offering. Stay as a guest. Is it accurate? Does it meet your expectations? Would you give it 5 stars

Hi @Jenny2240

 

Welcome to the community center!

 

This is a great tip, have you test driven your own listing then? I'd love to know what kind of insights you got from doing that 😃 

 

Have a lovely day,

Yes I have. My boiler broke down in the main house and I had to move into the annex for 10 days. I discovered the bathroom did not have anywhere for guests to put their 'stuff' . Just a shelf which was fine for 2 nights but not for a week or longer so I put in a small floor standing unit with a cupboard and drawers, so that guests could put their wash bags and make up things away.

 

In the kitchen although I thought I had equipped it well, it did not have any weigh scales, rolling pin or blender which were things I reached out for when cooking. A cooling jacket for a wine bottle and also a stopper in case the bottle stretched over a few nights. Things I took for granted in my own kitchen.

 

I subsequently have had reviews which state 'best equipped kitchen we've experienced when staying away'.

 

I also installed a small cordless vacuum cleaner.

 

So I guess the test is, if you stayed in your own listing for a week doing everyday things, would it have everything you need?
