Bay Meadows

A good first impression is everything! Summertime means welcoming more guests to your residence, which can be overwhelming. Whether company is your coming for an evening barbeque, a weekend or a week, it’s important to ensure they feel right at home.

If you’re prepping for a weekend or longer, there is a lot that you can do to make their stay amazing, long before they ever step foot in your residence at Bay Meadows. Below is a quick checklist that’ll help you get started:

Keep the entry spacious for shoes and bags.

Bring on the citrus! Citrus, vanilla, and herbal scents like basil or rosemary the most widely favored scents. Ensure your home smells fresh with clean floors, linens, emptied trash, and candles.

Remove pet hair with a lint roller before guests arrive.

De-clutter! A clean space is appealing; clear surfaces, dust, and vacuum.

Ensure the bathroom has extra toilet paper, nice spray, soap, and clean hand towels ready.

Prepare a basket in a guest room anticipating any needs such as drinks, snacks, chargers, or sunscreen. You can also include one in the bathroom with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash, and hang up an extra robe.

Provide a closet, hangers, side table, and luggage rack.

Include fresh linens, a clock, charger, trash can, and little extras like a chocolate or mint on the pillow like a fabulous 5-star turndown service.

Add fresh flowers, have your guest WiFi password available and grab a few of their favorite items for the most welcoming experience.

For weekend stays or longer, get a few gift cards to Blue Bottle, Fieldwork Brewing or a favorite restaurant or entertainment spot like Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas or Pinstripes Bowling at nearby Hillsdale Shopping Center so they can enjoy a walkable adventure on you! It’s a great way to enjoy a break without saying so much.

An inviting and comfortable stay paired with your genuine attention to all the little details will surely turn you into an expert host!
