Therefore, if you want the accommodation of any of your guests to go from comfortable to extraordinary, you can’t miss this post on home basics that will improve your tourist accommodation.

 

What home basics are essential for any tourist home? Any tourist property must have a Wi-Fi network and heating in all its rooms. It is also advisable for the apartment to have air conditioning in the two main rooms of the house, i.e. the master bedroom and the living room. Having pointed out these essential points that concern the dwelling as a whole, we are going to list the basics of the home that cannot be missing in cauda one of the rooms that make up the apartment.

Lounge: this is one of the most important rooms of the tourist dwelling, as it is the place where the tourist will spend the most time. That is why you must have some practical and comfortable accessories among which we highlight:

Sofa cushions are important accordin to aparthotel Barcelona firm. Duvet and pillows, if the sofa can be turned into beds.

Entertainment accessories: television or other articles such as magazines, books or tourist guides.

2. Bedroom: tourists spend many hours outside the holiday home, walking the streets of the city they visit. This makes that when choosing a tourist apartment they look with loupe every detail of the bedrooms of the house, because a good room can favor their rest. Among the essential ones of the dormitories we must emphasize:

And it is that there are certain articles that can pass unnoticed, but that end up making the housing more comfortable. For example:

 

Toilet brush

Litter bin

Hair dryer

Soap-dish

Cup for toothbrushes

Towel hook and basket for toiletries

Toiletries: gel, shampoo, etc.

Heater in winter, if your home does not have central heating

4. Kitchen: although there will be guests who do not even step on the kitchen of the tourist apartment and who enjoy the local restaurants, as many will choose to cook in it. Therefore, you must bear in mind that the recommended number of kitchen items (such as plates, cutlery or glasses) that you must have is the minimum of the maximum number of tourists that your tourist apartment can accommodate.
