Along with rising standards demanding hotel-type concierge and customer service for short term rentals, expectations for basic amenities are also becoming a “thing”. Among numerous other tasks required of an Airbnb host, quality Airbnb rental management involves determining the appropriate items to supply followed by ongoing monitoring and management of the inventory of these items.

Fresh linens and towels are a given, and basic toiletry items like shampoo and conditioner, kitchen items such as cooking oil and coffee/tea items, and paper items like toilet paper and paper towels are also provided by most Airbnb rentals today. Of course, anything that goes above and beyond helps enhance the quality of your guests’ stay to leave a good impression and increase the number of stars on your listing reviews!

All of this may be fairly simple and straightforward if you happen to live within minutes of your rental property and rarely go away on vacation or business trips. However, for most property owners, having to visit the site between each and every guest to monitor for replenishable items, launder linens and towels, shop for and restock supplies that are low, and keep a meticulous inventory of the household can become tiring and stressful.
