Making your Airbnb Kid-Friendly

Having a kid-friendly Airbnb can attract a whole new customer base to your short-term rental. Travelling with kids can add an additional layer of planning to your holiday. Providing family-friendly accommodation can help your Airbnb stand out. And, if you are a parent of younger kiddos yourself, you will most likely already have everything needed to make your property kid-friendly.

Provide some kid-friendly safety

Adding these touches to your home can transform your space into somewhere that parents and kids can enjoy their holiday with ease.

• A high-chair tucked away near the dining room makes all the difference come dinner time.
• An assortment of children’s books, lego, safe toys & colouring pencils goes far in keeping the kids entertained, and gives the parents a chance to relax.
• A set of plastic plates, bowls, glasses and crockery can be a godsend.

Consider your furniture

• If you have a glass coffee table with sharp corners consider getting corner protectors.
• One’s home décor is a very personal choice. Keep in mind that every vase, sculpture and decorative item placed on a surface is an item the could accidentally be knocked over. Be mindful not to over decorate, and don’t splurge on any big ticket items.
• Ensure any heavy items (bookcases, wardrobes, TVs) are securely fastened to the wall.

Don't forget about the parents

If there’s something that all parents appreciate, it’s a good cup of coffee. Upgrading your caffeine situation - whether it’s with better quality coffee beans, an automatic coffee machine providing different types of caffeinated tea can make all the difference to tired parents. In winter, some hot chocolate powder and marshmallows goes a long way for everyone.
