Why is short-term rental different from long-term rental?

Short-term rentals place considerably higher demands on both the equipment and its quality. Guests expect a fully functional home from day one, without needing to buy anything extra.

Long-term rental

  • Tenants prefer an unfurnished or partly furnished flat
  • Only basic appliances are needed – a dishwasher, cooker and fridge

Short-term rental

  • Guests expect a hotel-ready standard
  • Complete sets for cooking and serving
  • At least 3 sets of bed linen per person
  • Everything must be ready and fully functional
A missing wine opener or insufficient towels can result in a negative review, affecting your future bookings and income. Our checklist covers every category, so you do not forget anything.
