I forgot my 2002 Don Perignon in the car and had no extra time to get it. So, I replaced champagne with wine and do not regret about that, because my place is 3 stars, not 5 stars!
I exposed plates and showed they are good for 4. Used some creativity in decoration. I cut some colorful paper and put it into the glasses together with white napkins (nowhere to buy colorful napkins in my country!) and added some tree flowers, from the street.
I used bracelet (from Duty Free in Instambul :)) as a napkin holder.
As you can see, the decorations can be very cheap or even free. The table runner is not used by my guests. Even if I leave it on the table, they put it in the closet, being afraid to damage it.
We did Airbnb style, where you can see what exact appliances and kitchenware will be provided. Again, guests do not read about that, so pictures are more preferred. I put a "human touch" to make a presence of a human being such as 2 cups and towel. Many places look so artificial, do some things to make them look homey. Teapot is a nice idea, but we don't provide one (country is too hot, people don't drink tea here).
It was my idea ever since, but since I manage long distance, it was up to my cohost either to organize minibar or not. I don't really know how she does it, since we are in airport area and our guests can leave whenever they want to, but I will post the updates, if you are interested.
You know that WiFi is number 1 thing the guest do ask for, so somehow it should be exposed on your pictures. The most important for the guest to know, that the password is in visible place and they don't need to guess where is the password or contact the host again for it. It happened to me one time, when I checked in the host went home to sleep and didn't provide me a WiFi password. So, exposing the password is the good idea. As you can see, it's blurred and can't be used by neighbors, but potential bookers are happy to see that the password is well taken care of.
I used cheap plastic stand for photo pictures and red carton for the heart. It's cheap and looks adorable for everyone and goes well with Airbnb!
