If you have a vacation home you like to rent out on Airbnb, you understandably want to command the highest prices possible. You’re competing against high end hotels who can offer guests luxurious accommodations, so you have to up your game. One big advantage on your side is that you can offer that homey, lived-in feel with a complete kitchen so your guests don’t have to eat out all the time.
There are many ways to make your listing stand out from the rest, one of which is to install granite countertops in your kitchen. Read on:
Top Features Airbnb Travelers Look For
Here are the top four features that travelers want to see in an Airbnb before they book it.
- Functioning kitchen: You have a leg up on all the hotels in this regard because you have a kitchen. Your guests may be on vacation, but they still want to cook for themselves everyone once in a while. After all, it can get pretty expensive eating out for all three meals plus snacks and drinks. Give them the beauty of a functional kitchen with durable yet gorgeous granite countertops. You can use any natural stone, really, so long as it complements the beauty of your space.
- Luxurious bathroom: In the same regard, your guests want to feel like they’re being pampered on vacation. Consider adding a hot tub with marble surround, or a his and hers sink that leaves plenty of room for everyone to get ready in the morning.
- Comfortable Beds: If your bed is comfortable, you’ll likely get a very positive review online. Again, travelers want to be pampered, and getting a great night’s sleep is a big part of that. Plus, if you’re located in a busy area with lots of hiking or sightseeing options, your travelers will be weary after a long day and need a restful place to lay their head.
- Washing Machine: Traveling is tough on clothes, especially if you have a pool or are located close to a beach. Your guests will want to do laundry frequently so they don’t have to bring as many clothes with them in their suitcase. And if they have little kids, they will appreciate a laundry room where they can remove stains from their shirts (the moms will thank you!)
Decorating Your Airbnb Kitchen
As we said before, your guests want another option to cook for themselves instead of eating out. So make your kitchen really pop with new stone countertops and state of the art appliances. This way, they can make a quick breakfast in the morning, pop their leftovers in the fridge, prep snacks for a day at the amusement park, or fix a quick dinner for when things they chaotic.
Make sure your countertops are clean, stain free and shiny. Every year, or before your busy travel season, seal your countertops.
