I've been reading the posts here for about a month and have heard several opinions on cleaning. Most of the opinions i've read are for shared rooms, which I understand. This is the majority (by booking count) of AirBnB's business I am sure. My question is more for my studio (rented as a fully separate unit) and therefore more likely to get longer-term bookings for people who may want/expect cleaning by the host.
So, I am tagging a few people who I've come to trust @Farah, @Annette, @Sharion0 to get their responses to this question.
I'm gonna put the Studio up for 2 day minimum, 7 day discount and monthly discount. In our area several events get hotel bookings that are more long term (I have friends in some of the major hotels here that are giving me hints on what those days/weeks are). So during many times of the year people would probably stay 3-5 or 7-14 days to take advantage of them.
My quesiton is: What are some good policies regarding cleaning/freshening of linens, changing of beds, cleaning of bathrooms (private) and the kitchen (private as well)? When I say private, all these things are rented to that one guest, closed off from everyone else and have private entrance to guest. What have other guests told you they are experiencing when booking studios & 1BR apartments?
Anyone else, of course, is welcome to chime in but I'm mostly interested in what your policies are in non-shared-room-environments.
If it helps, the studio WILL have a cleaning fee attached to listing and a deposit. No children, extra guest fees (sofa-bed for 2ppl if they wish.)
Thanks!
