    My husband and I are renovating our 1700 sq ft home, can’t wait to put up on airbnb by next month hopefully. Your videos are soo inspiring. This is my first investment property and it’s nerve wrecking!!!!

      Good luck!! You guys got this. It will always be on your mind in some aspect because it’s a huge investment but it’s so rewarding! And you learn so much about yourself and your partner! 🙌🏼Keep us posted!

      I agree with Kristin, also when your ready to do your second AirB you’ll look back & remember it took all that fire to get the rocket off the ground, sort of speak. Your just a baby AirB right now, someday.. you’ll be all grown up!

    I finally cleaned my Airbnb, since my cleaners couldn’t. I vacuumed some dust bunnies under the beds. I got to take the crumbs out of the toaster. I saw a stain on the towel. I agree it’s good to deep clean your own house once in a while.

    Love following your journey, we recently opened our Airbnb in California so it's fun to compare notes. Rooting for you guys on your fertility journey as well. My wife and I tried for a year without success, then the first month trying the Ava bracelet (biometric/fertility tracker) we got pregnant. Sending all the good vibes your way.

    Your videos are terrific. Really enjoy you taking us along on your journey(s). With these last second bookings, did you need to level set with your house cleaner to make sure they can be available on such short notice? Feel like that’d be tough to manage.

    • @kristenandmichael
      @kristenandmichael  Год назад +1

      We always send an updated calendar to our cleaners and if they can’t do it, we plan to do it ourselves. Usually they want the work so they’re usually on top of any last minute cleans.

    Oh cool, you have a Kurt Cobain pic on top of the tv. I have the big book of that photoshoot with all the negatives and so on, pretty cool! 😁 (Yes, you do a 30min video and I talk about a random pic on the wall at 29:43) About the video, like always I like your tranquil personalities and how crafty/diy you try to do things (and they end up looking cool). Cheers from Portugal 🍻

    @Kristen & Michael How do you wash and dry all of the bedding for two beds in 2 hours? Even with a large capacity, it seems all sheets, duvets, towels, etc. wouldn’t fit. 😩 tips please… thank you!

    • @kristenandmichael
      @kristenandmichael  Год назад +1

      We have 3+ sets of sheets, pillowcases, etc. We also have 18 sets of towels each. This helps a ton, just in case of stains or lots of guests, there's always clean towels on hand. And we have 2 sets of bath mats & want to get a 3rd. This way the cleaners (or us when we're there and can help out) have time in between guests to get caught up on laundry! Peace of mind is everything - buy it all in bulk!

    • @gingerlox1050
      @gingerlox1050 Год назад

      @@kristenandmichael Perfect! In other words, you strip everything and have clean and fresh to immediately replenish with. I’m assuming all soiled laundry gets loaded in a big laundry bag. When the cleaners are cleaning, do they take it with them and wash off site then return later to put away in between guests? I’m speaking of in the event there isn’t enough time to get everything washed dried and put away before the next guest checks in…
      Thank you so very much for your time and congratulations on your journey and successes! ☺️
