I’m an Airbnb Superhost — My Guests Love These 12 Bedroom Essentials
By Ariel Kanter
It’s been just under two years since my husband and I pressed publish on our Airbnb listing, a quaint studio in a carriage house behind our home. I wasn’t sure if anyone would ever stay there: It’s in a quiet part of Highland Park, Illinois, 30 miles north of Chicago. Who is really coming here to stay? Turns out, a lot of people!
Since then we’ve had 160+ bookings and an average of 5 stars, and we’ve been Superhosts since our first quarter. I attribute much of this success to my constantly monitoring the app for new messages and bookings (100 percent response rate is important!), our fastidious cleaning protocol, and our ability to visualize what people visiting Highland Park really want. But you know what guests really want? A good night’s sleep.
Many of our visitors are coming from Chicago. They want a quiet weekend away from the city, to relax and unwind, and maybe spend some time at the beach. Others are visiting family and need a spot to escape from tiny children and, well, their family. The rest are road tripping across the country and truly just need a comfortable bed to recharge.
That’s why we put so much thought into making the sleep experience as relaxing, comfortable, and luxurious as possible in our studio. Of course in the beginning, we kept things simple and cost-effective, buying a lot of our furniture and decor discounted on Facebook Marketplace and from estate sales. But we’ve asked and listened, upgraded, and invested — and here are the 12 items that keep our guests sleeping soundly.
Cariloha Resort Bamboo-Viscose 4-Piece Bed Sheet Set
$349.00
When we first launched the Airbnb, we didn’t have the best-quality bedding (or towels), but once we started making some money, the sheets and duvet cover were the first things we upgraded.
This particular set is pricey, but remember spending (some) money toward your rental is beneficial come tax time. People can tell when sheets are nice and this set is so soft that we use the same brand at home. You want your guests to get into bed and go “ahhh.” Good sheets will do that.
