Furnishing Airbnb in Anchorage

[Kaiden Foster]

Just closed on a duplex in Anchorage with @Vance Foster. Both units will be listed on Airbnb. Looking for recommendations on several things:

 - Mattresses (sheets, pillowcases, etc): Do you buy in Anchorage or order online? Do you have any mattresses recommendations that your guests have found comfortable while also cost-effective? 

- Self-check-in keypad vs smart lock: Smart locks seem to be more expensive, require an in-house smart hub, and have shorter battery life... but have more options for automation and integration with Airbnb. Thoughts on which is best?

That's all for now!

Thank you both for your input! I ended up going with Casper mattresses from Costco as their return policy is excellent. For locks, I went with the Schlage Encode. While pricy, the ability to integrate with Airbnb with automated key codes for each guest should pay off in the long run.
