I am a frequent and very happy airbnb guest who has had 6 wonderful long-term rentals go extremely well with several great and thoughtful hosts in recent years. So this is not a complaint ... I just wanted to post one recommendation and am hoping this is the appropriate forum to do so ...
While everyone’s needs are different, there are a few basic items I believe should always be provided by all airbnb hosts to all guests upon arrival:
1. Drinking water (preferably chilled tap water in the fridge or a bottle or two of spring water in areas where tap water is bad or non-potable for foreigners, like Indonesia, Mexico, etc.)
2. Ice cubes frozen in trays ready to use, made from safe or bottled water.
3. Ample hangers of various types for shirts, blouses, trousers, suits, jackets, dresses, overcoats, etc.
4. A tea kettle or electric kettle to boil water for tea/coffee.
5. A shelf or shower caddy to place soap, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, etc. in the shower/tub.
6. A rubber mat to stand on while showering or bathing to avoid slips and falls.
7. If a sunny terrace or balcony is provided, 2 or more chaises longues to sunbathe on.
If this is the wrong place to post this suggestion, my apologies ... I’d appreciate being directed to the right place. Many thanks to the great airbnb hosts I have had the pleasure of working with!
