Airbnb hack — remote controls

Ok, it’s a Friday night at 8:45 pm and you are onto your 3rd glass of wine 🍷 (it’s been one of those weeks/year) and the phone rings 📞😱 .

Your guests are upset as they can’t find the TV remote.

Your stomach sinks, surely it’s on the TV cabinet. The shops are closed. Can’t drive there … oh no! You are stuffed till the morning.

PREVENTION

Prevention is key, have a system in place to avoid lost items. This happens with keys kept in the apartment as well.

One of our Airbnb’s has a tennis court key and we keep it on a labelled hook by the back door.

Remote control system — velcro. Works wonders. Velcro on the back of the remote and on the television cabinet. Guests enjoy the structure and easy access to essentials.
