A written review,
in practice.

Because the brief does not state the status of permissions, registration, safety checks or insurance, confirm what applies locally and what has been completed before offering the home for bookings. Obtain the relevant local or qualified advice where needed. This written review cannot establish compliance or whether insurance is suitable.

Change “two queen beds” to one queen bed and two single beds, with the correct bedroom descriptions. Four sleeping places do not make different bed arrangements interchangeable. Finish the setup before the photography appointment, and include both bedrooms and the bathroom in the final photographs.

My usual allowance is four pillows on the queen bed and two on each single: eight pillows in this example, rather than the four listed in the brief. Keep two full sets of comfortable, quiet waterproof mattress protectors: six here, with one fitted and one spare for each mattress. Allow two full sets of washable pillow protectors: sixteen here, with one fitted beneath each pillowcase and one spare for each pillow.

I have managed with two complete linen sets per bed. That would mean six complete sets here: two queen sets and two sets for each single bed. Check sizes when ordering, and include enough washable doona covers to support the laundry rotation. Doona means duvet for readers outside Australia; the covers are washed at every changeover.

Before deciding that two sets will work, agree who removes, washes, dries and returns them, and what happens if a set is stained or delayed. A washer and dryer do not appoint their own operator. Provide spare blankets when the season and local conditions call for them.

Clear the designated cupboard of the owner's seasonal belongings and arrange a separate locked space for housekeeping linen and supplies. Agree how the cleaner will access it. Keep guest supplies available in their normal places; the locked cupboard is for operating stock.

Record who cleans, launders, replenishes supplies, checks the finished house and handles a fault. Name a backup for times the owner cannot attend. Allow enough time between stays for those jobs and unexpected maintenance. I leave a full 24 hours between bookings in my own operation; the owner still needs a schedule their cleaner and laundry arrangements can deliver.

My kitchen starting point is two of each everyday plate, bowl and cutlery item per guest. For this home, increase each listed category from four to eight. Buy one additional matching spare tableware set and keep it aside for accidental breakages. Replace a broken plate with a matching one, rather than gradually assembling a museum of odds and ends. Check what the spare set contains when ordering. Check the wider inventory separately; the brief gives no quantities for drinking glasses, mugs or cooking equipment.

Test Wi-Fi from a guest device, and walk through starting live television and opening the streaming apps. Write a short guide matching the actual remote. Record any faults found and have them resolved appropriately rather than treating the owner's equipment list as a completed test.

Rewrite the arrival message to identify the correct entrance and the key safe on the opposite post. Explain that the safe contains a physical key used to open the door. Add a clear location photograph when available. A code is useful; it is not the entire arrival plan.
