Excellent information. As a professional cleaner of homes for professional and business owners, I would suggest cleaning the regular coffee maker by running through the machine with cold water and white vinegar twice. Then twice with bottle drinking water afterwards, clean the glass pot with vinegar and dish soap and rinse with hit water and dry completely. That usually gives each guest a great coffee experience during their stay. Much success to you!
Omg Phyllis what great info!! Do you have any more nuggets of wisdom for tips on getting stuff good and clean?
Don’t use coffee machines, too much hassle - provide instant coffee and brouchure and recommendations for top cafes close by
Advice: if you use exterior wood stain and varnish on interior items. It prevents 95% of damage and makes it high heat resistant.
And provides wonderful chemical exposure lmao
@@TheStarLord99 actually it doesn't after it's completely dried and cured. Clearly you do that outside. 7 year professional experience.
@@MXofTHREE that’s simply not true. It’s very important to specifically choose a stain or paint that is non harmful. That’s why there are only certain outdoor stains acceptable for raised bed gardens, because chemicals leech out even after drying.
The only saving grace of using harmful chemicals in a short term rental is that no single tenant has prolonged exposure to the chemicals
@@TheStarLord99 the only chemical "run off" happens during a chemical reaction e.g. a liquid changing to a solid, drying of any finish.
It's alright for you to disagree or not understand. Thank you for your time.
@@MXofTHREE thank you sir. Some people choose to be ignorant. Extremely draining. You on the other hand are insightful and helpful. Thank you.
Nothing is easier to fix than leather - every car I've ever owned has had a leather interior and I've had holes, rips, burn marks all fixed seamlessly. They even have repair kits on line for Vinyl / leather. Also a tip for beds in airbnbs in warmer places / down south is to have the bed frame made of concrete and you just place the mattress on top. There's nowhere for dirt to go (solid concrete base). nothing to break (they are bomb proof) and the look is really modern and clean. They also cost next to nothing (a few hundred dollars) to set up.
Do u make a solid concrete pad or like a skirt? Do u make a headboard? Drop a link if u got an example.
What productt do you recommend to fix leather?
I would NEVER stay in an AirBnB with leather chairs and couches. So uncomfortable.
What software do you use to manage all your properties? Make a video of that
So much knowledge, thank you!
Loved this vid. Tons of valuable content. I think many folks would like to see example photos/vids of the types of couches/ materials that you recommend. I’ve seen material couches in a few of your room shots so I’m curious as to which fabrics work best
So much wisdom in this video. Thanks Sean!
Phenomenal, detailed, instructional video. Thank you! I appreciate you!
Thank you! This was very helpful! I'm starting my first corporate lease and your videos hit every question I had! So thank you!:-)
Thank you so much for the info! You're incredible man! Much love!
With climate change on the rise, it would be so appreciated to see homes being furnished sustainably: I.e.: second-hand, thrift, FB market place, etc and not just buying everything on Amazon/ Ikea etc. Climate change is going to impact the tourism industry sooner than you think, so best to keep that front of mind and do your bit for the planet.
Fantastic advice, Sean!!
Great video! I am changing my whole style based on this video!
Super great video here ... so informative . You are so giving with your knowledge. I admire you for giving it freely buddy !
Get good used furniture off FB Marketplace and paint it. Wood furniture only. Don't buy a used couch unless it's from someone you know.
Amazing information thank you !
Honestly one of the best vlog in general but especially on this subject. Unqualified thanks
Great info, very glad I found your channel. I’m planning for an Airbnb right now as soon as I get my permit. 👍🏽
Lots of great knowledge!
Awesome info!! I’m about to start my own STR Thanks ❤️
Great info! I'm glad that he's explaining the pros and cons about doing Airbnb with your own home or even renting someone else's property. A head start in the business. Thanks!
Great advice! Thank you so much!

Perfect video thanks for making
Thank you for the help and information!
We would love to see video examples of your Airbnb's, where you made some mistakes and what items you purchased to replace them that worked out!
Thanks for sharing so much quality information. I’m a single mom struggling in my current cash for time exchange. I want to get into rentals. I have a fear of failing im currently getting over.
Excellent video, thanks.

Still struggling to join the business and it will be soon
Thanks Sean !
Thank you for the great information
Thank you for these informative video i hve a place and planning to start my airbnb journey soon after my i set up my entire house 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You got a pretty good, sleeping experience and kitchen experience are very important
Especially if people is renting a place to be away of hotels, counting that some Airbnb users are very picky with food
And they need to cook their own meals
Having straight sleep is also very important
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for this free content!!! This is what I needed when I purchased a course from the tiktok 20 year old airbnb "gurus" but instead I only got a short furnishing list with no explanation at all and but you gave so much gold nuggets for free!!!
Great video and great practical advice his! This is a true pro who's been there done that. No BS, everything straight to the point. Thank you.
Happy to help!
I used exterior wood stain in the bath. Cream colored. I had to strip and cover a 1970s dark walnut stained vanity, and it worked like a charm, plus moisture resistant. Still looks great 18 years later. The fan runs every shower and the window is open for ventilation weather permitting. The litter box is near it, too, so it needed exterior grade protection. I have the same problem in the kitchen because of all of the water, food, and moisture exposure. The drawback is the doors stick in the summer, so there needs to be a clear seal coat on one surface to prevent that from happening. Or perhaps not use the stain all in the kitchen 😢. I really do like the muted colors and mat finish in the exterior stains.
Have to agree on colours for sheets and towels after so many white ones had to be replaced from stains and dullness, a good navy blue is fairly posh, and dark red . Also I find dark patterns best for duvet covers and from experience the lighter fabrics are easier to iron.
great info thanks!
omg, I believe me and my s/o rented the property you’re currently in, or one of them similar when we were in philly. It’s such a small world! We both want to rent out our own properties now! It’s funny how we came across this, I showed him and he laughed 😂
Useful information. As others have commented, I wished you showed more images and videos of what you talk about. As much as hearing you describe things is useful, it’d be better to see various images illustrating each one of your points.
Older videos I have posted have these types of walk throughs. I’ll do more in the future as well
I didn’t expect this to be decorating advice 🙃
Sean! You deliver yet again! Finally got my girl a shut up check, so now I'm working on either finding a designer or doing stuff my self. . We'll see. But I'm looking for ideas on colours and quality. Norway is s bit hard when it comes to Abnb, hear rumors about new rules again.. hopefully it doesn't affect us too much.
I'm definitely joining your Facebook group now..
Thanks for sharing brother!
Ben
All I got to say is.. you're a beast man
Would have really appreciated some examples from your current places. I’m a visual person and the aesthetic you go for would have been nice to see.
Great info! Just now watching all your stuff! My wife and I recently purchased a good size single-family home in Los Angeles that we Airbnb as well as a four unit complex in West Hollywood that we Aribnb too. We are brand new to the game but learning fast! We also are trying out Airbnb arbitrage. The one does make money but it’s kind of tight (We have a little guest house unit). Ownership so far for us has been way more profitable that said we cannot afford to buy any more properties at the moment so we will have to learn to get better at the Airbnb arbitrage in order to grow our portfolio
I’ll have to keep watching your videos to get better at that. Thanks for all the great tips!
Great Information.
Fala brate! Helped me a lot
I'm using the schelge encode digital lock, its expensive but seems to work amazing
Your content and your business are Amazing. I am really getting second thought on my investing plans for the next years!
By the way
Kitchen stuff is such a point. Because of the High temperature they work at, they naturally tend to look overused after a certain time. Ceramic will break, iron cast will go black (and MUST be black to work well, but it does not look neat), alluminium will stain and turn gray and might be illegal in certain areas. "Built in" non stick pan could be a longer lasting solution, but eventually they will anyhow get scratches. Having alluminium pans and having someone trusted to renew them every once in a while is the cheapest and longer deal. Source: pro chef here.
You are the best 🤩
I’m setting up my first AirBnB. Thank you for this video!
I just love that you used the word “grody” near 11:20 😂
This info !!! 🙌🏼🙏🏻
Thank you, these are very good suggestions. I completely agree with you regarding the bathroom. It’s very frustrating to have an older tub that’s clean but looks stained. I’m not sure what the listings say but you mentioned “sterilized” in the video. Not trying to be nitpicky but words matter. It’s not possible to sterilize anything outside a sterile environment so just stick with “sanitized” or “disinfected” so an OCD guest doesn’t challenge this. Also if you are on a budget, they do make a spray on epoxy specifically for tubs and sinks. Much cheaper than replacing or hiring a contractor. Another option for bathrooms is brush on grout restorer or paint specifically for grout. Lastly, Scotch Gard fabric and rug protectant is a must have to minimize those pesky stains. Thanks again for this video
Can you give examples of how you reinforce beds with wood?
I want to thank you! I been thinking on how to furnish my 3 bedroom rental & I’ve wanted a coffee station and was thinking of getting a keurig because I love mine but now you right keeping it clean might be a problem.
I purchased a Cuisinart SS single serve and I absolutely love it. It looks good and allows for using your own coffee beans. I get instant hot water and it stores one of the holders in a side compartment. It has a K cup holder and a fresh grounds holder.
Thank you.for sharing your experience with the rest of us Sean , you are to be admired .
Iam one of the pioneers with airbnb ,
hosted for about 3 years successfully base on the situation at the time .
I would like to get back in the game but it may sound like an excuse but many things kept me away up to this point
and cannot find the way back in .
You are brilliant and took the business to the point of excellence .
I will like to be part of your group to learn to do it the proper way but I don't do facebook anymore .
But will definitely contact you this week for sure for the proper guidance and get with it
Best regards !
Liked, subbed, belled. Take that TH-cam algorithms.
I’m at the furnishing stage of my first Airbnb and it’s definitely the most fun part! Great tips 🤗
Congrats!
Absolutely me too! Dnt go over budget lol! Good luck 🍀
Congrats so am I it’s fun but as a creator I get so many ideas
Very good notes….thank you….just wish you added images of items that you we’re talking about
❤️GREAT video!!!!❤️
You know what, I like how you are in front of the camera, youre polished and professional... thanks Im inspired
The lighting and camera set up is on point! I see that color grading.
Dang, Sean got fine! Okaaayyyy!
New subscriber thanks for the info lots of good stuff here,
Here to help!
Thanks for some really good advice as we get started out! We looked at a home for sale that has apparently solid bookings and good reviews. When we toured the property it had serious issues like the tile in one shower had separated and pulled away by an inch and water has been going behind the wall for a long time. The carpet was heavily stained and a couple of small areas showed signs of mold. YET, they have good reviews and no one mentions these things? How can that be? Thanks!
Thank you for all the tips. I’d also love to know what mattresses do you recommend.
I will need a king and queen size?
Thanks for all the good information!
Question: What brand/type of mattress, pillows, sheets, and towels do you typically use?
Would you be able to do vids with examples of the items used so we can see how it looks and get some ideas for colour schemes.
This was good!! I just bought my first two properties and I've SUBSCRIBED! thank you
How has it been going?
I am back after a long time. The pandemic is putting a stall on my wish to do Airbnb...now that the borders are slowly reopening, I am thinking of doing Airbnb again..
Sweet.
Thank you
Hey Sean do you have the link for the couch? Thanks!
Did you ever use mover/builder services to help you setup the furniture while you were remote? I could use some tips on how to find help with this
Hi Sean we are in South Africa and we are moving to Fisherhaven from Cape Town Goodwood. We placed an offer on a house that we will have our house next to 2 x airbnb flats that we will renovate when we move in. We want to have an airbnb that is affordable to everyone having a relaxing experience, but keeping our budget down. Not high end but like plain farm style fisher cabin without the cabin. and affordable to everyone. The airbnb's are expensive and we want to accommodate the average people that wants to get away but just can not afford it because of pricing.
Can you do a video on roll away beds- what to look for ?
I hate fake plants LOL. As a guest, they go straight under a cupboard 😆Don't bother
I understand staying away from fabrics, but I personally hate sitting on leather. If you don't have long pants on you can stick to it. Leather can have a cold feeling even to look at. You can buy fabric protectors. We have two grey fabric couches. So far so good. I will get in a professional if I can't get a stain out.
1st video...didn't expect that voice. But great advice for sure!
Thanks 🙏
What flooring do you recommend? And should you spend a good chunk of your budget on flooring? Love your content…thank you!
Thank you for your videos, Sean. Im debating now between regular rent vs airbnb. What do you recommend to do with new construction 4 bed/ 3 bath 1,800 sq ft at 7th & Master (Philadelphia). Regular rent is $2,500 per month.
Agree about avoiding sleeper sofas as as they're not really comfortable and not sustainable .. What about airbeds?.. Isn't that the original essence of airbnb? (airbed and breakfast).. New airbeds from Bestway for example have built-in pumps and its easy to use, easy to stow and durable.. Very replaceable as well.
Thanks for all the info. Do u have a list of items that r definitely needed, nice to have and not needed at all?
I'm renting out a house to support a dog rescue, which is best door. Therefore, plan on allowing dogs. Very suitable dog yard included. Any tips on this angle? Thanks
Sean, excellent items to care about! something really important you should spot on here too is sustainability and waste. I have units where sometimes the waste of the guests are not reasonable. So It would be so cool if you also add a recycle spot, sometimes some guests left things like clothing and it can be also part of an upblycling culture according to the unit or location. Sustainability on products well buyed are also hugely important in hospitality world. After covid stuff and disposable things that should be used just once should urgently have some suppliers that can work perfectly to follow hygienical rules. sustainablity is something we should have in the top of mind when hosting.
Gray tshirt texture sheets are the only sheets I have used in my airbnb. They are cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and best of all only about $24 for a queen set.
Where do get them?
@@Jekyll_Island_Creatures Wal-Mart
I love to understand the dynamics of the materials we us. Most of our furnishings are of hardwoods. Not what most people use but what makes it work for us is I have a long time friend that refinishes antiques and he provides us with how to repair scratches and water spots. It's really a lot easier than it looks. We do it all the time!
Love it if you shared that info!
@@caseyglenar7268 What info you want to know? It all depends on what the problem is as to how you treat it.
Water spots mainly.
@@caseyglenar7268 I did a 000 grit steal wool and color pen to remove one. Another I used some stain with the 000. I can't recall the name on the can but, I think it's restore. I'll check the next visit and send you the name. I finished a brand new set of unfinished kitchen cabinets, one area wouldn't take color so my friend told me to use it and it worked so well that you couldn't find the spot!
I love Sean's videos but he's not a wood worker.
Such a helpful video! Curious as to why you mentioned you were snatching up all the studio apartments in the building? I know they are usually cheaper to get into, but is the return about the same as a 1 bedroom?
Good, informative video thanks!
