Preparing your apartment for romantic getaways

With Valentine's Day approaching, many couples will decide to go on a trip and book an apartment on a short-term rental platform. To catch the eye of travelers and ensure they have fond memories of your apartment, your Airbnb concierge service recommends making a few adjustments that will make all the difference to your guests.

How can you highlight your property for the lovers' holiday?

‍You know the saying: it’s the thought that counts. Make a small gesture that will make a difference and make a couple happier on their special day! Here are some tips that apply all year round, regardless of the season: The accommodation must be clean, as must the linens (sheets and towels). Obviously, this rule applies every other day of the year, but for this special occasion, you should pay extra attention to these small details. After all, travelers will be far from their daily worries and don't want to deal with these kinds of problems with their partner. Repair all your appliances! On Valentine's Day, the last thing travelers want to do is deal with a faulty boiler or a water leak!

Delicate little touches

‍What can you do to create the perfect setting for Valentine's Day? First, spruce up your apartment so that travelers feel like they are in an idyllic setting. Place some flowers in the home, as well as scented candles to add a romantic touch. This second tip won't cost you anything and will be greatly appreciated by travelers: leave restaurant menus in the apartment. Travelers will be arriving in a city that is likely unfamiliar to them and may not know the best local restaurants. Also, leave them addresses for good bakeries for breakfast. In the bathroom, if you have a bathtub, provide bath salts or bath bombs. We all have them in our drawers; make them available to people who will be more than happy to use them.

The little extras

‍Offer your travelers some little treats: chocolates, sweets... a bottle of wine or champagne would be ideal. There is no need to invest in a bottle of champagne (though if you can, that's great), but a small bottle of wine for an aperitif will be greatly appreciated!
