Hi Sara,
To determine if your house can be considered suitable for children, it's important to focus on safety, convenience, and providing family-friendly amenities, as these are the primary concerns for guests traveling with children. Given your description of the house, there are several positive aspects like the baby chair and large garden that are already appealing to families.
However, since you have steep stairs leading to the bedrooms and the house isn’t fully childproofed, you’d need to take some steps to meet the safety expectations of families.
Installing safety gates at the top and bottom of your stairs would be essential to prevent accidents, which is crucial when young children are involved.
You might also consider securing heavy furniture to walls and covering sharp edges to enhance safety throughout the house. While you mentioned not having many toys, that's less of a concern.
Ensuring that there are basic conveniences like a portable crib or even some outdoor play equipment could significantly boost the appeal of your listing to families.
Providing a safe and secure environment is key. If you can manage these modifications, you’d be well-positioned to advertise your home as "suitable for children." This not only helps in attracting families but also gives them peace of mind knowing that their children are in a safe space, enhancing their overall experience at your property.
