Getting Your House Ready For Guests
Make Room For Them Getting a space ready for your guests means more than having the room clean and the bed made. Set up the space so they will have their own space to retreat to. Find a small table or television tray to set up as a luggage rack for them to set their baggage on. Clean out the dresser to give them a place to put their clothes. Find the best sheets and blankets to put on the bed. Be sure there is an alarm clock, a Bluetooth speaker or other sort of radio, and possibly a sound machine especially if you live in a different type of area as they do. Also have plenty of electrical outlets available for them to plug their electronic devices in. If the room has an ensuite, stock it with clean towels, full rolls of toilet paper, and soaps both at the sink and in the shower. Also, if there is a television available, change the batteries in the remote and leave instructions how to use it.
