There are some people that rent their own home while they are away, so it’s natural they ask what personal items should be there and which should be locked away in another place.
Guests don’t want to feel like they’re invading someone else’s house, they want it to feel like a rental, that means no personal pictures in the common rooms they will be using, just the guests enjoying a space.
First, you need to empty the drawers or closets so the guests have space to put their own clothes, especially if they will be there for more than 4 days. If you have several rooms, you can always leave one room for the owner, and just have available the extra ones, that way you don’t have to hide or move things from one place to another, you can just lock a room.
If you have a bookshelf, you can try and stock it with a variety of categories, make it as broad as possible, make sure the magazines are also varied for any taste, but usually visual books with nice photographs like wildlife or architecture are a must.
It’s simple, just lock away personal photos or items your guests should not see or use, you won’t worry about your items, and guests won’t feel like they are in a stranger’s home. win-win.
