My question is, how can I add a cot to my listing accommodations? I am surprised that cot is not listed.

Hello community, Just wondering if someone has advice. I have 3 optional cots for adults or children to sleep in. The cots are single, cloth sac made, rustic cots that are quite common in beach areas in Mexico. The problem is that airbnb dose not give me the option to add a cot onto my listing, and right now I have it listed as "toddler bed" which is not very clear since an adult can sleep in the cot comfortably, and it suggests that these are for kids. Any suggestions?

Yeah Sally, these things don't cost a lot and it does come back to you in the review process.

I supply a porta-cot with inbuilt change-table, a high-chair, a box of childrens toys, (all of which were 'hand me downs' from  my grandies, and I even provide a choice of childrens bath towels for those 4-8 year olds that like to choose!. They can choose between Frozen, Toy Story or Star Wars

Little things like that Sally, parents really take on board and remember.....you made their child happy and they won't forget that! I couldn't care if Airbnb suggest it or not, I just consider supplying these things a good hosting aide!

The only thing I don't provide is a childs car seat. I even have a stroller around here but I find parents will always travel with one and prefer their own.

I don't charge additional for any of these things  and I find parents really do appreciate it and tell me how thoughtful I am. 

It doesn't cost much, those towels were about $5 each, have lasted through about 30 kid stays and have turned out to be one of my hosting assets. 

 

Cheers.........Rob

Also chidrens glasses cups bowls and utensils as well as extra flannels and a basket of books toys and movies. In Australia make sure the tv is tuned at all times to ABC kids. Life will be easier...

We have a fold-up cot in our place but if our guests want anything beyond that we direct them to Tiny Explorers where they can rent basically anything they need.
