Hi all 🙂

Furnishing my first MTR and would love to know what your guests love and comment about your home that I should look to include. Any amenities? We are doing individual room rentals it’s a 6,000 sq ft nine bedroom home 

Things I have heard to include besides basic items are air fryer insta pot tea kettle vacuum sound machine black out curtains and full length mirror 

We do plan to add a sauna, exercise equipment and possibly a hot tub. Thank you all for your help and suggestions

 Hi Eryn!
MTR by the room is a fun one! I've done it both on Air BnB and by going direct, with a 30 day min stay, averaging out to be about 3-6 months each guest. I have used sound machines in rooms and they work great, especially if you are renting by the room, it gives each person some privacy. I would also recommend hair catchers for the shower drains and sinks. I have done interior ivy walls, ice cream makers, fresh squeeze orange juice, and even converted an outdoor shed into a "Van Gough Art Studio" to give 1 house a leg up. At the end of the day you want to make it pleasant and safe. 
One last point: If there is a higher tenant to bathroom ratio, a simple dry erase "shower schedule" on the back of a bathroom door can work wonders. It might not be a permanent solution however it does keep things organized for a temporary amount of time, if needed. We also put "Please take off your shoes" signs, along with a shoe rack, right inside the front door, to limit dirt traction. As a broker in Charlotte, I love everything that you can do in real estate. Hope this helps!
